What will change?: I hope for new personal joys that make me — and the people close to me — happy.
What will you leave behind?: Fear. I want to feel free to do whatever I want, change my plans, and be spontaneous.

What will you leave behind?: Pretending I have a five-year plan.
What do you hope to keep?: My friends from the library. We mostly talk, to be fair.
