It’s interesting how perspectives change given a few years. No matter what I know things are going to work out, some how, some where my life will change and I will always adapt.
I posted in a forum, probably in the wrong thread since I’m notorious for doing that, how I’m relocating yet again & was wondering if anyone was from Kentucky, knew of anything in that area, and my concerns about finding a job. I did not make it a sob fest story b/c everyone moves eventually but I got an interesting response on how my thread was not a problem… I’m not bashing the person who posted it—in fact, it was a valid statement. I didn’t make it seem like a problem so I can completely relate to the individual who was trying to help.
It made me think though… About how at one point in my life I was crying and screaming because I didn’t have a date to the Valentines Day dance and how it was “The worst day of my life” as my parents keep reminding me. Or how I flipped a car three times and crawled out with only a huge bump on my arm and more worried about being in trouble than the fact that I could’ve been killed. I even remember when riding horses and worrying about a boy talking to me took up the majority of my thoughts instead of school work and bills. How no matter how cool my parents were they knew nothing—only to find out I was insanely clueless and they guided me in the right direction.
My problems now are not huge, they are not incredible but they are my own. Paying bills is a large concern because frankly, it’s hard to make a living in the “real world” without making a living working. Relocating several times at my age makes it hard on someone to get a career, stay stable in contributing to funds, and also it burdens creativity as well. I find myself crying about leaving a house I put so much effort into, not because it’s the most incredible house in the entire world—it’s humble I know, but it’s the first home my husband and I have owned and we put a lot of love into it only to leave it. To leave this city, which has been both kind and horrible to us. To leave newly found friends and venture into new territory. It’s intimidating but not impossible. We’ve done it several times before and we will do it several more times before our lives end.
So I wonder if I’ll laugh @ myself in the future of how I cried over moving while I’m upset over raising a family and fighting menopause. *chuckles*
I guess we all long for the worries of our youth, no matter how old we get.

But yeah, totally agree, and it's funny when you look back and can only laugh at the things, in your youth deemed as important, only to find them trivial at best now...
And screw bills, just send a 9mm magazine clip to the IRS, they'll understand XD
(no really don't do that...)

I never moved as far as you did but I changed my home many times since I was a child... I never had friends when I was small so it was not really a problem. I loved being alone so it didn't change a lot for me. Somehow it was just what the adults did... I don't know how I would react if I would have to change from Zurich now. I love this city and I don't want to leave.
I don't think you will look back and see it as an especially sad or funny thing from your past. I for myself have to say that every time we moved... in my memories it just blends in.

I dare. Do you?
I just think it's so funny how things I see as minimal or silly were the center of my life when I was younger.
One thing we share is the love for solitude, I love just being left alone. I used to play by myself all the time too so time out never worked for me.
Oh well, I'm just feeling blue. Good thing, I'm able to draw through it so the creative flow hasn't stopped.

As for the bills, I won't mess with the people who control the power to my house but I will harrass the hell out of the people sending me junk mail!!!! *fumes* We stuff other junk mail into their return envelopes and send them in. I hate junk mail--they're just killing more trees!!! *grumble*

My hubs moved a lot (all over the world) with both parents being in the military so he's used to t but I've always been rooted and was starting to develope roots here. BUT it's a good thing we're going now than in 5+ years or something.

Thats a bummer about moving and I hear you about the career thing, thats gotta be tough. But on the bright side, he got promoted again so that means more loot so the bills should be easier right?

I'll think of something witty to put here later
But it's bittersweet I guess.

Just... I think that trivial things don't exist. One thing might be unimportant for me but someone else might see something precious in it. Same for the center of the life. It was not minimal. It was just a different you who saw the world. ^^
@timeout: same here. ^^ I was raised alone and most of my childhood I preferred to stay alone. And I'm still that way. So, we might have something in common here.
