The mind blocker

I am trying to push it out of my mind, but it just seems to consume my every thought.   Yes, you guessed it.   I'm moving, and this can either be relief or dread.   Moving out of state or out of the country can be like pressing your life's reset button.   There's no going back, and no control+z for undoing something you wish you hadn't.   It's hard to think about the future, much less plan for it when you know that you will basically have a different identity in a year or so.   We tend to identify ourselves with our surroundings; it defines what kind of person we are, to a certain degree.   The reason moving can consume so much of your brain's mental energy is because you have to view everything that is currently going in your life as temporary.   In the end, all things are temporary, but it's different when you know when things will end.   It's kind of like how no one wants to know the date of their death.   If you think of it as an adventure that could take you excited places, your attitude should change, and you should look into the horizon with anticipation for the unknown.
