It is often not a good idea to move to a new city or a new country because you will lose old friends
It’s an indisputable fact that the social support provided by our family and friends is the most crucial necessity for mental health. However, we might all face the painful dilemma of choosing (better: having to choose) between pursuing our own aspirations in life or giving them up for the sake of living with our family and friends and enjoying their company. Not to undermine the importance of friendship bonds in our lives, but I personally believe that pursuing our own goals comes before living next to near our friends. I will further elaborate upon my viewpoint in the following paragraphs.
Although the prospect of not having your friends around and being alone is terrifying, pursing our dreams and ambitions is what forms our personality, and guarantees our happiness. This It is our dreams that fire up our motivation engine every day and gives us energy to function as a healthy, active, and productive individuals. Yet, this rewarding sense of fulfillment cannot be achieved, unless we sacrifice a part of ourselves that we love.
Yet a Another important reason to supporting my this point of view is that leaving your hometown doesn’t necessarily mean that you will lose your friends. In this today's era of communication that we are living in today, the astounding advents/inventions (better: advances) in technology have made the distances between people disappear. Keeping in touch with friends have has never been easier; you can reach out to all the people you know with a touch of a button. Having said that, I admit that virtual communication is not able to fully completely fill the gap of face-to-face communication. But, in this way, you can still have their emotional support and seek their advice of friends and family in times of difficulties.
Last but not least, moving out of your home town -- or even moving out of your country, -- provides a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, get to know new cultures, gain new experiences, and acquire new respect for life. It helps up be less ignorant and more humble, and finally become a better human.
The summary of all the points that I have mentioned is that In summary, we should not let the vagueness (better: uncertainty) of the future intimidate us and make us cling to the familiar present. We need to pursue our dreams since they define who we are, and we should be certain that true friends will always stay by our side no matter where we are in this the world. Moving out of our home town or country provides us a rare opportunity to get to know the world that we live in. An opportunity that one should welcome with open arms.
