Mature rigidity!

The first time that we moved house I was only 6 yrs. old then I stayed in that place which is near the Metro for 18 years. After that I lived with my husband in a condo flat for almost 3 years in the center of the Metro and now I'm in the province after we got married. I can't say that I never been rigid in coming and going but I'm not into living in the province. I mean I lived in the Metro almost all my life then out of the blue I'm in the province.. But I did told my husband that I'm getting bored here since I'm still adjusting and I want to go to the Metro with all the buzz around.

I truly believe that it is stress that caused this in people. I am a lot like you. I used to accept whatever came my way but now I have a routine and when it gets messed up I seem to panic inside. I then have a hard time sleeping or even relaxing.

I don't really know... when I was very young, our family moved often, but around the third grade my parents settled into a house and stayed there until long after I was married. When I was first married, we moved around a lot, too, then not so much. It didn't bother me to move then because I always had "home base" of my parent's house. Now I've been here for 11 years and I really feel hemmed in sometimes. I want to move somewhere, do something else and see something else for a change. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. I think that if I followed my heart, I'd move every three or four years. Maybe it doesn't have to much to do with age as it does personality changes?

We have the same situation and in the end of those round trip; My family went back to my dad's neighborhood where he grew up and I find it crazy at first but eventually it taught me how to adapt in any kind of environment despite of tensions and such in a certain place. For example; unconsciously; I was asking myself also; changes are also necessary for the better. Maybe during my toddler years I find it difficult to keep friends because we keep on moving but if you'll have this better understanding of what's going on **and usually it is because of my dad's stupid extended family with my uncles and aunt** and if your parents are also supportive in comforting you along the way; you'll get over with these tantrums. Happy mylotting :)
