maybe in the end it was just going, but i think i had always known that i wanted to leave the state i lived in but there were some fears in it to.
I think mainly i made sure i had a place of residence to move to, a commitment to move. I flew to the place to get vibes of the town of the building id be living in before signing anything, then i spent the next few months packing, donating, picking up extra shifts, etc.
I planned out my route as i would be driving a long way to get there, made sure i had enough money plus extra in case anything emergency arose. I spent about a week making the longest playlist to listen to.
When the day came to move it was a bit bitter sweet. I knew new adventures awaited me, i knew the town that i grew up it gave me all it had to offer and i bled it dry and staying would only get me so far.
It took awhile to adjust to the new home, new town, new people, but after a couple of months you eventually find that one take out restaurant you like and become a regular, you start to find your ideal grocery stores, you become friends with the people you work with even if for the then next few months you're only friends at work, holidays come up and it'll surprise you how human some people are and you'll fet invited to a work dinner or simply a dinner with a coworker and then you've made your first official friend.
I could go on but I think it comes down to making sure you are ready, you have some safetys set up incase something gose wrong, always do research then just take the step and next thing you know you'll be in your new home
