This happens to me every 6 months or so. I have the burning desire to MOVE. It doesn’t help that one of my best friends is currently moving to a new place. Albeit it’s only 2 blocks down the street from where she lives now, but that’s neither here nor there. The fact is is that she’s moving and I’m not.
I can’t really explain this need to constantly move, but it’s there. There’s nothing wrong with my current apartment. Or my roommate. Granted, I never see her, but there’s no problem there. We get along just fine when we do see each other and it’s a nice place. I think it’s a "been there, done that" feeling that once I’ve gotten, I find it rather hard to shake. I don’t think I’ve lived anywhere longer than 2 years since graduating high school, and I only lived there for 3 years (boarding school). I usually get this way after about 6 months of living somewhere and I do believe it’s coming up on 6 months.
I don’t feel the need to leave the city or state or anything like that. I just want to live somewhere else. I’m hoping this feeling passes soon because the reality of the situation is that I’m set right now. My rent is good, my debt is actually diminishing and things are starting to go my way. If I’m smart (which, sometimes, I think I might be), I’ll stay put for now and save up and maybe buy a place. Maybe. But probably not. Homeownership is a very scary commitment to me and I have no desire to walk back down that road. I like renting. So maybe I’ll just save up and move into my own apartment again down the road. And maybe buy grown-up furniture. That might be nice.
Maybe I should just rearrange my current furniture. I wonder if that would help cure my current bout of Need to Move-itis. Can’t hurt. Might help.
come back to birmingham!!!!!!!!!
Not helping!
sorry, you are after all, only 35 feet from the city line…

Move to Redwood City. It’s a bit farther, but the weather is really great.
