Do I stay or do I move?
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Have you ever felt the urge to pack up and move to a new place, but weren’t sure if it was the right thing to do?
I have, more than I’d like to admit. Twice I did move—with no planning—all the way across the United States. Once was when a job didn’t pan out. The other was when my boyfriend broke up with me.
But the novelty and wonder of making a new beginning on the West Coast wore off pretty quickly. A year after getting settled in the Bay Area of California, the second time, I began to relive the anger and frustration that compelled me to move in the first place. I’d run away, feeling rejected, when my boyfriend “just wanted to be friends.” And now I still wasn’t dating anyone, hadn’t made substantial friendships and was told that my teaching contract would not be renewed.
