I've been here for a week now, I've moved in, I have a great roommate with whom I share my 2bedroom-2 bathroom apartment, and everything seems nice right now..
Yet, everyone I run into asks the same question: "Are you going to move here permanently?", which makes me question if I really want to end up in Florida forever. Honestly, I don't know if it's for me. While the state itself is gorgeous and the weather is exactly how I imagined, I still don't feel like I can call this place home. I haven't even had my “ah-ha” moment of residential happiness.
But then again, I can't help but think that if my significant other lived out here with me, would I feel differently? Chances are pretty likely that I would.
To be honest, I am a believer that where you live has a huge impact on who you are, who you will become in the future, and your overall happiness. I'd read somewhere that one major happiness killer is "living somewhere that does not let you be you" and as every day passes, I feel like I need to figure the answer to where I will be happiest, location wise.
(Or, do you think I'm getting too ahead of myself in figuring out where I possibly want to live as a future cat lady?!!)
Moving is an inevitable part of my life. I moved across the country more than 7 times (oh, btw, thanks dad!) I left home for a college across the globe. I lived in New York by myself . Hell, I moved dorm rooms more than three times! I know that I won't stay in the same place forever (even if I want to.. considering how my life has been so far!), so maybe I shouldn’t think too much into it right now.
However, if anything my post-grad life has taught me it's not to make plans, so maybe geographically speaking, the future of where I live and work and rejoice in happiness will be out of my control.
And that's the scariest thing of all.
