Hey guys, I moved away from home and I miss it every day.

Is anyone in the same position or had the same experience and what helped? Now that we bought the house and have a debt I can’t easily get back to where I came from in the near future. Lucky enough though it’s only a 8 minute drive (the town I use to live in is about 5 miles away from where I live now).

I think a big part of my thoughts circling is that I grew up in the other town and know all the people and in the town I now live in I barely know anyone… I can’t explain they aren’t unfriendly, infact most are welcoming and friendly, but have different interests than I do.

My old town had a nice lake that was a 5 minute walk. Now I can’t even walk to the lake anymore and even by bike it is about 30 minutes away.

    I first moved away when I was 18. I ended up 8 hours away because of studies. Later I lived in a town 45 minutes away from where I grew up. I have since them moved to other countries, some close, some distant. I am now 41, and I live 13 a hours drive away from where I grew up.

    I have moved because of jobs. I’ve moved because of girlfriends. I’ve moved because of a sense of adventure, and simply of the belief that a change of location will make everything so much different and better.

    And if there’s one thing I’ve learned after all of this, it is that simply moving place will rarely make things better or worse for you on its own. Because no matter how much or how far you move, you will never move away from yourself.
