Did you face opposition when you moved?

No, not at all. Actually I never faced any hostility not even from my friends who were sad to see me go each time.

Not really. I got more support than I expected. Some people, mainly people that don't know me too well like co-workers, asked why. Anyone that already knew me well wasn't surprised. I've been talking about doing it for almost 20 years. Even a couple of people that tend to be very negative, that I expected less support from, were happy for me.

Not opposition as such, but I did get "No! You can't go!" from both family and friends. Within six months after I moved, my sister moved three hours away, my parents moved to another state (to be fair, I knew this was going to happen), one good friend moved to Michigan to start medical school, and another good friend got married and moved to Germany.

Live your life. Just because people say "don't go!" doesn't mean they'll stay.
