Moving

---

So have any of you ever moved to a different city after living somewhere for a long time? How did you make that work. In a couple of weeks I'm moving from Louisville, where I've been for well over a decade, to a small town. I'm not so concerned about the "moving to" part. That'll happen. But I'm really starting to get kind of sad and a little worried about the leaving part. I've been here a loooong time. How did you make that work? How did you deal with leaving so much of your life behind.I'm not just rambling. And I sure the hell ain't looking for attention. I'm really curious if anyone else has done this - as an adult - and how you made it happen, or if you have any advice.

I did but uhhh I was happy as shit to go. Of course several years later when I had kids and they hit the school age I moved back because the schools were I was were shit and lil gang banger wanna be fucktards made it shitty to send my kids to the schools in my area, I love leaving where I was, Im currently trying ot get out of wher I am now and move again.I have a chance to buy a house I rather like at a good price with everythig but a garage for the same payments i make nowf but I want out of this fuckig place so ba Im thinking of just leaving and fuck that house, pay more elsewhere where I want to be.Its all in what you want from your life Damien, do you want to stay where you are? want to go where your going?its al about the step forward to what you want to be and where you want to be. If moving helps me to be where I want to be, Im all for it.stop thinking about the good shit where you are and think of the adventur you have before you in the move and the new area.unless your not up for change and the new unknown thats ahead. then think about uhhhhhhhh the girls where you will be that dont know you that you never tried to scam before fresh meatff ! (Imean you not them) Girls seem to like new men that havent ben around the last ten years for them to choose from, new posibilites, new shit to get into

I don't know if this counts. Even though I was born in the heart of New York City my family moved or lived in Maryland. It was nice and quiet and FRIENDLY there. Lot of friends and family. Then my dad's company moved to the city and that's when things got crazy. Took ALOT of adjusting to. Instead of taking a bus or walking to school we had to take the subway train with a gazzillion people who walk really really fast and never sleep. The school policies were totally opposite. We had no clue what stores, hospitals, anything was where we lived so we didn't know where to go. First few weeks were a disaster. And we were dooped our first two weeks there. I remember my mom gave my sister and I money and a map to go find our oldest brother and we got lost and lied to and looked like wimps because we were crying and freaking out in the middle of times square until we talked to that naked cowboy dude. It was crazy. But Louisville sounds like a pretty cool place.

No, I don't wanna stay where I am. Been here long enough. Ready to go. I'm actually excited about where I'm going. I'm not saying everything will just fall on my plate like I'm some kind of prince (although they've kind of been working out that way), but I'm not dreading that part at all. I don't want to stay in Louisville, but I'm really getting kind of sad about leaving. Not just cause I won't have any coffee shops or Barnes and Noble or clubs and stuff where I'm going, but because I'm leaving behind a buttload of people who have been huge parts of my life. That's sad.As for the girls...even though there's obviously a ton more girls in the city than in Podunkville, I think that will actually improve for me when I move. For the reasons you stated maybe, and just because I'll be more stable and you're right I'll be "fresh meat" so to speak. That'll be fun. (I'm totally gonna be the left-of-center freak boy down there!) Java wrote: In reply to: But Louisville sounds like a pretty cool place. It is indeed.

Crikey!Sorry about that dear.It's not like I can't tell the two of you apart. I just sort of blurred out who I was responding to. That's what happens when you're in an apartment with no ac! (That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.)It won't happen again.
