Moved away to attend university 4 months ago. Came to the bay area from Socal and I'm loving it so much more

i couldn't even move back to the hood too much change now i like being able to walk everywhere without being scared. sure old white people get scared but the grim reaper is coming no cute boys on my block though but its not like im in the position to date right now anyway.

I want to though. It's debates.

Much happier, too many bad memories and i hated everyone

IKEA is not that expensive, and I just bought a clothes rack and a shelf basically and some decorative stuff

I've lived in this flat for almost two months now but I kinda wanna move again I've been hanging out in a different area of the city a lot with some new friends and I like it so much better there, and it's also closer to my work. it'd save me a lot of time and some money on transport, too but I don't really wanna go through the process of moving again so soon and it'd also be disappointing for my roommate so I guess I'll wait until next year or so...

It's been 6 years but it took 4 years to be OK with it for me

Welp. my ratchet era is back.... ugh i dont wanna move back to the hood at all. i'm gonna be so annoyed/bored

Update me with tea!!

I've only moved 2 times in my life. I was born in a house in the San Fernando Valley, but my Mom wanted to move us out to the Santa Clarita Valley because it was safer out here plus there was better education for me. So we lived in this modular home from when I was 3 to when I was 11. It was a cute area to grow up around because I'd be able to ride my bike around plus we lived below a hill that would always blossom in the spring. Then my Mom moved us to another part of town in 2005 because the schools in my area started to go down in value so she moved so I would go to better schools. Plus, it was safer from Wildfire danger as well.

So now I live in a two story house that is closeby to Magic Mountain, the Mall, the high school I went to, the community college, the library, and tons of food places. I feel like I've lived in a very urban/suburban environment for the past 9 years. I love my house, but I'm so bored of my subdivision now. Almost everyone that lived there when we first moved here has moved away, and almost all the new people that have moved in are families with young kids, so there's no one around my age for the most part. My friend Amanda lives a couple neighborhoods down though so I see her when she comes home from college every winter and summer break.

Since I'm 20 now, I pretty much am allowed to venture out of my house if I want to, which I try to do since my neighborhood is so boring, but my Mom got me dogs last year so now I at least get to walk the dogs around at least. My Mom and Dad also let me pick up their medicine or grocery items so that's also nice. At this point, I just want to be as independent as possible.

do u work?

I moved twice when I was younger (elementary and middle school years), and then for college. I love moving and I wanna travel a lot for my career so...

For ME anyways, I like a change of scenery because I get anxious really quick. I gotta keep moving/seeing people etc. I'm trying to go to New York or L.A. next since those are the biggest cities for music in the U.S.

Update - I've moved since this last post. It's been some of the worst few months of my life since I moved.

how is it now?

In the process of moving now, probably done next month. In the same state but a different borough(NY). It's quite stressful and a bit far from my friends but I'm old enough to drive or move out if I must.

Aww it will get better.
Have you met some new people? Also are you far from your last home?

No. I have social anxiety, and am terrified to even step outside of the house... I'm about 3 hours away from my old home, but it's hard when you can't drive or anything.

Still sucks, hopefully it'll get better :/

Just at least try to go out and meet people join some things

life isnt over, whats the worst that can happen? i know its hard but your in a new place for a reason so dont keep your old habits

I've never moved. I don't know whether to be grateful or sad

I'm so sorry. And I know exactly how you feel. I moved 1000+ miles away from my childhood friends I grew up with and the family I grew up with. It is horrible, but it will get better. It is just temporary and once you're older and get a job + car you can move back if you want.

So there's a little bit of my story. I moved from a big city to literally a piece of **** town. They abuse animals and are all homophobic and republican stupid people... It sucks but I am coping. It's been about a year now.

Recently I got a Wii U. I spent $5 on this game/all called Wii Street U.. It's basically google earth street view. It's really cool though because you stand up and have the big tv in front of you and then you look around on the gamepad like a window into wherever you're looking at. It feels like you're really there! Anyway, I typed in my home town and walked along the streets and by the movie theatre and the Starbucks and all the spots I hung out with my friends. I got so emotional and I tried not to cry but I couldn't help it(I'm tearing up typing this ). And then I went to my old house and even more emotions. Now the back of my house street was an alley so it didn't get updated by the google van very much, and I went back there and it hadn't been updated in yeaaars, it was from back when I was 12. You could see my backyard and my old lawn furniture and everything. Across the street there was a park.. And right there, my 12 year old self was walking back to my house with my little cousins. just about to cross the street and come into my house to probably play video games or something. I literally couldn't stop crying. (And now I am again )

Okay enough of my sob story. Everyone buy a Wii U.

Damn that sucks. hopefully you can reconnect with them someday
