An Opportunity

It is hard to say goodbye. It is going to be hard to say goodbye. It is sad. It is scary. It is lonely. It sucks. It opens the door to a deluge of overwhelming sensations, it is a step into the unknown abyss that is unfamiliarity, and it is a headfirst plunge into discomfort.

But it is also an opportunity. An opportunity to display our courage, an opportunity to meet new people and develop new relationships, and an opportunity to explore a whole new world. It is a chance to grow and mature, a chance to open our arms to people that also need friends, and a chance to truly display who we are and who we want to be.

Whether it is accepted or not, this change is an opportunity and we can either hold on to the past, or move forward into the future with open minds and open hearts.

I really, really want to choose the latter, but I am having a hard time right now.
