do you feel very bound to where you live?

Hi there, I like too much shifting from one place to the other, live a number of month in a country or city and then move where chances,interests and opportunities bring me. I don't feel good at the idea of ever fixing my place in any specific context for the rest of my life. 24 years old now, but I belive this will be very hard to change...and don't wont to change it, just to become a surfing nomad.
What are your perceptions about staticity and mobility? I feel bound to people, some in particular, but I'm always ready to go away from them( a part form my boyfriend)...

I feel pretty much the opposite of you, which I find interesting. I mean, if people were all the same the world would be a pretty boring place, lol! I feel very bound to the place where I live. I love it here, and I'm very content with my surroundings. I also am very connected to people. I am never ready to leave someone that I care about. In fact, making other people happy is the one thing that drives me more than anything, although my ultimate goal is to find true love. But in the meantime, as long as I have someone who I can make happy, I can get by, because that feeling is so wonderful.

what you write sounds very good to my hears and expresses some kind of enjoiment for life,which is great! I belive that if you where moving and leaving people quite often as I do you would suffer really a lot, it would be a nightmer! I feel bad for that as well, but still, the need to go usually prevails..even if I feel really good in a place and a context. Too much relativism I suppose - About true love you write about, well, that's the one thing that can make me change,at least in a big part.But I'm advantaged in this sense, because he has got a lot of desire for moving as well, so, I would't be able to say what would I do if he didn't..Pherhaps it wouldn't be my true love if he didn't experience this impulse, it is a matter with so many implications.
anyway- lucky the people around you. each of us has his/ her ways

i think some day u will find your self with loneliness.and u don't have a fixed nice memories with other persons than u can use to remember them.and also i can assume that u were not have a best friend except from ur job or office mate. if u ready to go away from people around u, i think they also have a same feeling to u. its depend on u how u treat people around u.if u forgotten and can move out from their life easily, so do they..

Yes, that depicts some of the majour risks, for sure. But
on the other hand I can really state to have friends. To leave a place for me,doesn't mean to erase it or throw it behind. All experiences and friendships stands on the surface all the time, they are alive! Places and People become part of my circulation range, and I have often reasons to reappear and meet and live more things together with my friends. Is people ready to go away from me as I am ? I belive they might be anyway, even if we were sharing the same community life for 20 years.
Obviously I don't have the chance to meet some anymore, but for many relationships prevails a natural sense of the situation, without offence or indifference, I always go and come with attachment and emotions, and I belive they know it.
