It is okay to change your mind. Believe it or not, it takes a certain type of person to be able to find the strength to change their mind. Take it from me, changing my mind and twisting my world into a completely different path was when I was most vulnerable and confused. But it's okay.
Changing your mind can be as simple as ordering pizza and changing it to a sandwich at a restaurant or as complicated as wanting to leave you dream school almost immediately. Of course the most complicated one is the one I'm really talking about here.
Though it's one hundred times more complicated, messy, scary and concerning it's still the same idea. The same idea, that there is nothing wrong with changing your mind NO matter what the situation is.
Being away at school I learned so much about myself. I learned how much growing I still have to do. I learned that even though I could probably get used to it and have a wonderful four years away from home, I wasn't ready and it wasn't for me. I changed my mind, I needed to leave my dream school and come home. Pursuing the same destination just at a different destination is what success looked like for me.
I missed my house, I missed my family, but most of all I missed myself and the person I had been prior to going away to school. Every day I ask myself if I made a mistake but then every day I remind myself how much better I feel, how proud I am for being brave enough to change my mind. It made me better person and I proved to myself that again, it's is okay to change your mind.
If someone who is in the midst of changing their mind is stuck on whether to fight through what they are going through or to simply change their mind, the answer is change your mind. I promise it'll be a time to ponder back on and remind yourself of how strong and brave you truly were.
Once again, it is okay to change your mind, I promise no one has the power to judge you.
