I have been the person left behind who did not handle this news graciously . . . I got my feelings hurt and I felt unloved and abandoned and rejected, even though I knew rationally that the other person&#39;s move was not aimed at hurting me. That the move was a good thing for this person. I was still hurt, and I did not always behave nicely about expressing my feelings.<br /><br />And I have also been the person leaving to pursue a happy opportunity . . . and I have had to handle the sad and angry incredulity of my friends and acquaintances who got their feelings hurt by my announcement and were upset with the way I handled things.<br /><br />Change is hard.<br /><br />Whether you are the one leaving or the one left behind, change is hard.<br /><br />I wish you only the best in this new endeavor.<br /><br />I wish you the awareness to know that the anger you are facing from those you are leaving behind? May be sorrow and feelings of loss . . . self-protectively cloaked in more hostile emotions.<br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />Much love to you.<br /><br />MeKrishttp://www.prettyalltrue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19753536.post-9139332302087258772011-08-07T18:13:49.038-07:002011-08-07T18:13:49.038-07:00I&#39;m *so* excited for you - this sounds like it&#39;s going to be really good for you all around. I know I can&#39;t possibly know because I&#39;m not YOU, but this *feels* right. &lt;3Chibihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04247441931305025516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19753536.post-75178757685534971512011-08-06T20:58:59.840-07:002011-08-06T20:58:59.840-07:00You have to live your own life. Sometimes we look back and think that perhaps we could have handled things better, other times we know it was as it was meant to be.<br /><br />Living, is about doing things without having every answer. <br /><br />Good luck!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05864631532886681402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19753536.post-65203392930021078682011-08-06T18:08:46.070-07:002011-08-06T18:08:46.070-07:00All on board with those people don&#39;t matter. Also, I can&#39;t imagine being anyone that has to deal with parents. We&#39;ve recently gone to our kindergarten intro for our daughter, and man, I don&#39;t envy parents and coaches.

They can suck it.PrincessJennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625264680622731710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19753536.post-76089679798909161242011-08-05T15:01:05.802-07:002011-08-05T15:01:05.802-07:00&quot;the people who are being awful about the leaving? Don&#39;t matter&quot;<br /><br />PREACH IT SISTER!<br /><br />I had people ANGRY at me for moving from Portland. Those people? Aren&#39;t in my life anymore. The people who were excited for my change, I make time to go and see. Remember that above all, YOU are the most important person in your own life.<br /><br />I have such faith in in you, friend!Sarahhttp://www.sarahreede.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19753536.post-49827121664032548462011-08-05T12:16:02.554-07:002011-08-05T12:16:02.554-07:00You are so right.
