College
Posted by Marie in Fear on Jul 7th, 2010 | 3 commentsI am attending a four-year university in the fall. I could not be more excited for this new journey in my life, but I could also not be more scared. I keep telling my family and friends that I am ready to get out of here and move on to a new and better life. That is partly true, but I’m scared that I won’t succeed where I’m going. I’m scared that once I leave, things will never be the same. My home will never again be my home. My friendships will never again be the same. I’m scared that I will be replaced in all of my relationships. I’m scared that people who have been such a huge part of my life won’t feel that I’m a huge part of theirs. I want my past to matter, just as much as I want my future to be new and exciting and amazing. But you know what? Even though I’m more scared about my future than I have ever been, I would not change it for the world. My real life begins right now, and I am ready for the ride, no matter what comes along. I have enough faith in myself that I can do what it takes to succeed and show others that I matter. What I do and who I am matters.

What you’re feeling is a common thing, everyone get’s a mixture of fear and excitement when they leave home for the first time, since it’s your first time out in the world. This is only a temporary thing, just remember you have all of your family and friends there for you, even in spirit!
nothing more to say, you have already said the things that you need to hear to give you courage :) good luck and lotsa fun beating life ;)
