RE: By Losing Myself, I Found Myself
Thank you for sharing and baring your soul.....I feel your strength to overcome, by looking within. I totally resonated...I'm also a Cali-girl that transplanted myself in New England. Beautiful post! I had a rough Steem-week last week as well......riding the waves right alongside ya!
Thank you for reading @kimmydee2! What brought you to New England?
With such a large influx of new users lately, it's going to be tough standing out from the crowd - keep at it!
I grew up in small town, Whittier and moved to even smaller Visalia after high school. The crime and cost of living was getting to me. I came to NH to visit a friend from high school that moved here and just fell in love with the place. I am 10 minutes from the beach, but live in the woods. I returned home from my visit, made arrangements to move, packed my things, and came back here. That was five years ago and haven't looked back. I fly home for visits and mom loves to come see us! Five years and I still feel like I'm on vaca :)
I don't pass by Whittier much since I live in the south bay area, but it doesn't seem like a small town to me. I came from Colorado 6 years ago, so maybe that affected my perception of it? I can see how the crime and cost of living gets to you; I feel the same.
I always tell people I came from a small town in LA....they look at me funny too. Many of the residents that first bought there still own the homes they bought in the 1950's, then they are passed down through the family. Many of my HS friends still live there.
Right, back when a simple 2 bedroom house didn't cost half a million dollars. :D
Yep, this is why they are stuck in them.....you sell and can't afford to move anywhere. Keep trying to get mom to sell and move here ;)
