For the past few months, or even year, I've had the growing urge to move away, and leave my home, memories, and some belongings behind. I've had the growing urge to go somewhere and just start over.

Well, I recently learned that one of my best friends will be moving to LA very soon.

I told her earlier today that I wish I could go with her, not seriously of course, but she gave me an open invitation to go. Though I wasn't serious when I told her that, the invite and other thoughts have been running through my head like crazy.

The chance to start my life over is staring me right in the face. I want to go, badly, but something inside me is saying "what are you thinking?!"

I'd be leaving behind a lot. And by a lot I mean EVERYTHING. Family, friends, school, and girlfriend. I love my girlfriend, but I sometimes wonder if things are right between us and wonder who else is out there.

When it comes down to it I have two options: stay here, where I feel very stuck in life, or I can take a crazy risk and completely turn life on it's head.

What would you do?
