I would really appreciate some advice
I'm 21F and planning to move to Australia to get my MA as my family is also planning to move there (my parents, my sister, and my pet, all planning to go sometime in the future).
I feel really scared for some reason. I know it sounds silly because im essentially moving with my whole household to a beautiful country and it is certainly an incredible opportunity for a fresh start, but part of me feels really freaked out by it all. I feel like plannig for my future there while I have friends that i have known for 13+ years and a boyfriend of almost 2 years is super scary. The distance is huge from where I'm currently at and i have lived my whole life in this place with these people who i've watched grow up, suddenly leaving it all behind knowing there is a huge possibility these friendships and my relationship are most probably going to end gives me so much anxiety and cold feet about this whole move. I don't really have many friends tbh but my closest friends have been my best friends since very early childhood so we are quite bonded.
Staying where I'm currently at is not exactly the best option for my academic and professional future. There is no future where i remain in this country and i am able to live the life i dream of living and having the comfort and freedom i dream of. I really love my major, and i want to work in this profession as i'm very passionate about it and i also hope to get my PhD one day. I've already gotten my BA and i'm looking for an MA in Australia. I do know that going would open many doors for me and i could be presented with life changing opporutnities, I know i would make many friends and fall in love with Australia; but leaving the only thing i've ever known is so scary.
I'm petrified, but also really hopeful and excited. Going would be so good for my future, but it would rip everything i currently have right off my hands. Staying would keep me near my friends, boyfriend, and extended family, but i know i would never unlock my full potential or see what else the world has to offer outside this country (i dont travel, i dont take trips or vacations abroad, all i have ever known is the country i am in). I used to be someone so curious about the world and i was fearless so i don't know how i became someone so tied down to one particular place (one that has nothing concrete to offer my future and the career i want to build), i also have always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand and i now am presented with that possibility, but for some reason im heistant?????
I know this would be a life changing decision and its causing moments of fear+anxiety where i think to myself "wtf am i planning", and then it fluctuates to excitement and curiosity where I want nothing more than to go.
If anyone could share some wise words of advice or a new perspective id appreciate it. idk. Anything would be kind. Thank you sm
