I'm writing this to all of you who have stagnated in the same place (state, province, country, or continent) for years, without any change. Moving can breathe new life into your life ! So, please consider it ! Stagnation can bring loneliness, which is the reason we're all here on this website. And, we all know that loneliness kills.
Moving can be like starting with a fresh slate. People don't know you. Get out there, introduce yourself, and meet people ! Think about what activities interest you - seeing architecture, history, wilderness, beer/wine tasting, festivals, whatever.
I moved from a third world Asian country to the US of A when I was 17, and I feel very fortunate for having the chance to do that at such a tender age. And boy, did it open my eyes and teach me about the world ! I've now lived in Santa Barbara, California for seven years, and I'm ready for a move (wish I could ... no money, though).
Sometimes, a certain place can be a tomb for some of us, if we don't acclimate or adapt to the local culture. I know that I'd move in a heartbeat if I could. Santa Barbara, though beautiful, lacks soul ... it is cold, superficial, and heartless. My favorite cities are Portland (Oregon), Seattle, and Toronto. Any place in Germany will do as well !
Just think - what are some new places in the (country, continent, world) you would find interesting, exciting, and where you could meet new people ? Learn a new language, a new culture, have a new lifestyle.
This is your life we're talking about ... why does it have to continue where you currently are ? You need to get busy living or get busy dying ... so, if you're lonely and moving is a practical option for you, please consider it !
