move someplace I've never been before

I have been just about everywhere in the south. I would love to move to someplace like San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, or Boston. I’m not dead-set on a big city, maybe some small town would be nice to live in, but not too small. The south will always be home, but I’m definitely looking forward to living someplace different when I’m older.

I don’t know why I feel the need to do this? Maybe my frustrations with being here. I have to wait this week to see how things with my health pan out [I have a cyst in my spinal cord]but as soon as I know if I am healthy, I am quitting the job I have, hopefully moving far away, and finding a way to travel as part of the job. I would even settle for less money than what i currently make, I just want to have a different life. Right now I want to find the person I am supposed to be with. It is not easy to nurse a broken heart when he still calls and all reminders are here in this town. Including his family, which seems to go out of their way to antagonise me a little….well, his mom, actually, is the only one who does that….. But I want a different life with different people areound me now, I feel like I am wasting a lot of time.

i dont know what came over me? but i think i am going to move… I dont know where, somewhere I have never been, I have to look into it further but I know I dont want to stay here anymore and I am tired with life here and the people. I feel I cant trust anyone or relie on anyone any more, for one reason or another. Do you ever get that feeling that you want to just start over new, no strings attached? Maybe the pain you feel will go away? I hope so… new atmospheres will make me feel better I think… so i dont know where and I dont know when. I hope i do it, but there is always that thing that holds you back…

One of the best things I’ve ever done was to move from Washington, DC to Scotland. I live on the Orkney Islands now (pop. 16,000), and live the good life by and large.

What I’ve learned from moving about 20 times in my life is that every place has its good and bad—you can be miserable anywhere, even paradise. So I try to enjoy as much as I can where I am while I figure out what’s important.

I lost my job, I don’t have a lease, there’s no one here depending on me. Husband, three cats, and I moved to Baltimore on 4/22. It was such a thrill. I’ve been here for four days and I’m starting to love my new city!

Takes courage, sometimes, but you can do it. I did it several times. :-)
