Summary:
I’ve been having some doubts and fears lately. I’m struggling to find my footing and this new chapter in my life has been weighing me down and I have this bundle of nerves and unknown fears running through my head. I wanted to get some answers as to why or atleast a small insight. I start a new job next month which means a big move to a new country. It’s not my first time moving to a new place or starting somewhere new, but for some reason I’m really nervous or scared of it.

Thoughts? I’ve written out my own in my personal notes but I was hoping to see what others had on my reading.
