Hi! Would love some help with this~. I used to move around to various cities for fresh vistas and inspiration. I'm now in Athens, GA for the longest I've been anywhere in adult life--6.5 years. Must tell property manager by the end of this week if I'm renewing lease. Hit me a few days ago, that I could turn this time into an adventure, say no to renewal and perhaps move somewhere I've never been. Then again, I imagine a move across town could be equally inspiring, as could staying where I am, building on stability which I've rarely had or fostered. I've often thought that I've just about grown out of this town, but do not want an unnecessary hardship of moving (again) to a place where I know no one, I have no car, and only certain skills to forge a living. I am 40, single, and 2 years sober. Part of me wants to cut completely with echoes of the past here, but another part likes the idea of blooming where I'm planted and reaping rewards of living life in a step by step kind of way. Honestly, what I want more than anything is to cultivate my self-expression in arts and pursuits. I seem to have everything I'd need right where I am, and have already begun, but in asking this question, what is the shock?? Is there something in me that needs a shake up that can only come from another faith-fueled adventure? Sort of sounds exhausting, but I also don't want to grow hardened by settling. Your feedback is welcome! Thank you!
