CHANGE IS GOOD?

So my roommate of a year informed me recently that she is moving. And I'm getting a little anxious. I posted on craigslist and even had a few promising responses, but no follow through yet. I found out this morning that the room will be vacant after next weekend. My roommate will be paying for her share of this month's rent, so I don't have to really freak out...yet. I was hoping I'd hear something from the few nibbles I've had, but no. I just emailed them to update the situation, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
I have to admit, I would love to live on my own again. It just doesn't seem possible here in the valley. I've also been tossing around the idea of moving on again for a while now, but I haven't given it any serious thought as I was under the impression I would be staying a little longer. I do have some money saved up and with the deposit I would get back, I could swing it. I'm just not sure where I'd go next. I guess, with all the junk rattling in my brain, the idea of disappearing has once again become enticing. I just don't know if I really want to start all over so soon.
So here are a few quotes on change that I found that perhaps I need to absorb. I'm also open to any advice, so feel free to send it my way.

• The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. Abraham Lincoln

• It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. Alan Cohen

• Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Anais Nin

• It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Charles Darwin
