In a stroke of change, something I rarely embrace, I finally let (read: forced) myself to remove my old college home from my residence on facebook. My first thought involved feeling entirely too dependent on technology, while my second centered on forward motion.


I hate change.


I'm bad at change.


Change must be embraced.


Moving into a new phase of life is scary; especially when that chapter was the best you've known up until this point. But, it is unfair to my current life chapter to expect it to live up to the previous if I am unwilling to embrace it as I did college. While this chapter is different, terrifying, and frankly unwelcome,  it seems the only way for this phase to have a chance is to allow college to be in the past, while honoring how meaningful it was to me.
