Depends on where you’re going! You could also see about going month to month on your lease until you’re ready? Instead of committing to an entire year.

I’m from Missouri and moved to South Carolina when I was your age. Best decision of my life. It really helped me grow and get away from everything that was defining me at the time. I’m married with a baby now and I want to move home to be with family. But this point of your life is pivotal and time you’ll never get back. Nothing is permanent, and you can always move back if it’s not for you. If you’re being pulled towards it, I’d pay attention to the call.

This will sound harsh, but you’ll have more regret living your life for someone else than moving and realizing later you hate it. You’re not the parent here and you shouldn’t feel tied to her in that way. Go live YOUR life in the way you desire.
