Hi to you all!!. As some of you remember I'm moving to Boston on February. I live in Puerto Rico at this moment. I needed to write to you cause I've been having a few thoughts on my mind on this week that are bothering me a little bit.

I already sold all the things I had to, next week is my last week at work, then I will start attending some appointments ETC ETC. for about a month before I go to Boston.

Anyway the thing is that since last week I'm staying at my grandma house until I finally go and I've been feeling a lot that I don't have my own space any more. I've been having many thoughts, asking myself if I'm doing the right thing for me. Telling to myself here I am leaving my job (wich I hate anyways), sold all my stuff, and soon will sell my car. And make a new life wich is kind of scary.

I'm scared mostly thinking if I will get used to life in Boston and worried to get a job there and Also SCARED because this can be considered a big risk at my age (33).


Although I'm scared I'm reading a lot. At this moment I'm reading a book from the author Susan Jeffers in wich she writes about how not to fear when making ANY CHANGES in your live no matter what change is that you're making. But I wanted to share my feelings with you since I don't have no one to talk to NO ONE about all this. I will appreciate any advice that you can give me please!!!

I am sending you ((((hugs)))) sweetie. Moving is an incredibly stressful time, and you are moving to a different country AND dealing with depression. I have complete confidence that you will do great.

Take care, I am thinking of you.

I think that you should be excited about starting a new life stuff like this is great Boston is a great city I love it there but too cold for me.

I know that it is scary to pack up and move and start over I moved to arizona a few years ago and I was terrified but it ended up being the best thing that could have ever happened to me I got to experiance life on my own learn new things meet new people it was great I came back to the east coast and regret moving back here.

Try to look at it this way life is a constant learning process enjy every minute that you can and regret nothing that you do.

Good luck hun, keep us posted.
