RE: Ever Wanted to Just Pack Up Your Life and Move Far Far FAR Away?

in #psychology7 years ago

Interesting story... appreciate the share @katharsisdrill. I grew up pretty "rootless," as well-- my parents were what you might call "global nomads." Although my passport says "DANMARK" on the front, I maybe spent a cumulative 8 of my first 18 years actually in Denmark... otherwise it was six months here, a year there, eight months somewhere else.

Circumstances... after University, I anchored myself with a US citizen wife and a business, but it didn't do much for the sense of rootlessness on the inside.

They are not afraid of Muslims, but of slugs and flies.

That made me laugh... thanks!

I found peace with my move from Texas to Washington state... came to realize that some of my sense of "not belonging" was related to putting someone from the cold north in a place where 35-40 degrees (C) in the summer was a daily occurrence. Haven't had any desire to move since then... although we still do go back to Denmark for vacation once every 2-3 years.
