I can relate. I'm about to move to a different continent and I will be coming back to visit at most twice a year for the foreseeable future. I will most likely break up with my girlfriend and the fact that I won't be seeing my friends and family freaks me out the more I think about it. It's funny that I never used to think about the distance being an issue up until now, about a month before I leave. For some reason I always thought I would have an easy time going away and leaving everything behind in order to pursue my goals, but I find that these days I become increasingly nostalgic of things I haven't even lost yet. As others have said, I believe new experiences will be worth the sacrifice, and though I haven't yet managed to mitigate the anxiety over what I'm leaving behind, the fact that I've already scheduled to visit during Christmas gives me a slight dose of relief
