When was the last time you looked at your crawl spaces? How about that upper shelf in the closet? It’s critical to check these areas before you get ready to move. These locations may be where you’ve stored precious belongings in the past – you don’t want to leave them behind.

The Truth About Moving somewhere New Place by Yourself

4. Beginning a New Chapter

Your friends and family cannot stop expressing how proud they are that you have decided to take such a major step in your life. Granted they are a little sad, but mostly excited. However, you cannot bring yourself to feel the same way. How could you? Uprooting your entire life and moving such a long distance away is difficult. It is also very exciting, but you may not realize it when you are surrounded by everything that has given you comfort for so many years; a place to call home.

The move comes and goes, and you are finally beginning a new chapter in your life. One that you know will be filled with excitement, discovery, and opportunity. You have a new home or job, you’ve familiarized yourself with your surroundings enough to know what’s what. Life goes on. You go to work. You establish a new routine. You discover new things, such as restaurants and cultures. You work yourself further and further into your new life by submerging yourself in everything you can in the city.

It’s fun and relaxed- the change in scenery, the opportunity to re-invent yourself, and the endless possibilities for adventure. Everyone from your hometown sends you nice messages and comments like “we miss you!” and “wish we were there with you!”. Then it begins to fade. The messages from a close friend or the promised daily phone calls become less and less frequent and eventually fade away entirely.

5. You're Not Alone 

When there’s a great live performance downtown or a mountain you would love to climb, but you find yourself alone with no one to share the memories with. When work was strenuous and all you want to do is sip on a large alcoholic beverage with your best friend, but you realize you are all alone. Just. alone.

You haven’t completely cut off relationships with your friends and family, but you simply just don’t talk as much as you had hoped you would. In fact, you will probably lose touch with many of the friends you had before the move. There will be days when you question whether or not you should have moved. There will be times when the only thing you want is the familiarity of your home environment- your friends, family, comfort zones. Moving long distances is hard socially, economically, physically, and emotionally.  

Eventually, cage begins to present itself. You slowly meet new people; people who come from all corners of the world and share stories and beliefs that you have never been exposed to before. Friendships will grow and your loneliness will shrink. You will begin to see your new adventure more as your new life. Moving to a new place with a challenge you in ways you have never before seen. You fall in love with being by yourself, as it gives you the opportunity to figure things out without the assistance of others.

6. Be Positive!

You are given the opportunity to re-invent the way you have been living your life. You become open to new ideas and ways of life that help you grow as a person. You realized that, while your life has transformed greatly, the life you left behind is still there, and you see how healthy it has been for you to try new things. Your attitude has shifted because you have forgotten what it’s like to start over, to build up a new life from nothing.
