I Don't Pray, I Move My Feet

Oct 23, 2011 01:37

I wish I could relax. I wish I knew how. People who have known me for years would call me laid back, cool-headed, accepting...but my mom is not wrong when she calls me tightly wound and high strung. I'm always going. Always looking for what is next, never satisfied with what I have now. I have a need, and emptiness that needs to be filled. A ( Read more... )

This is fascinating. I have a coworker who's like this, always moving his home from one city to another, and like me, he also does a lot of traveling for his job. I love having a known and comfortable place to return to after a work week away, but he seems unhappy after living in one place for more than two or three months. I wonder, does he feel the same yearning for a permanent home which is at the center of your piece?

Great entry!

Thanks. I've often wondered who else feels like me.

Some of us just have that need to move around, that urge to be nomadic. The real question is do you enjoy the moving around?

Moving sucks. Learning new places can be...interesting. But it's hard and it just makes me want to throw everything I own away, haha.

I like making places my own, but not all that time and I want to have room for my stuff. I'm not so interested in learning a new place though. I moved to Houston 3 years ago and still wish I were back where I grew up.

I completely get wanting to toss everything rather than move it though. ;)

Where did you grow up. I've been to Houston a bunch of times for work and I can't say it's a place I've grown to love.

Yes, my least favorite question of all. Freezing up is exactly what happens to me when people ask. I don't know what to answer

Yes! Followed by my other least favorite question to answer "what do you do for a living/what are you majoring in"

I totally empathize with the desire to keep moving!
