And I too have lived a continent away. <br /><br />There is no shame in wanting to see family on a more frequent basis. And there's no shame in crying because you miss them either.KT My Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045966201880044927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-27812331611029594282010-12-30T14:13:08.091-05:002010-12-30T14:13:08.091-05:00Well, whether you're in DC or NC I'd total...Well, whether you're in DC or NC I'd totally want to visit - I love both places! Now if only I could find a job that gives me hours so I can save up money to travel =-p<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful NYE and I hope 2011 is The Year for both of us!Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290616156300143483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-66663627741027409292010-12-30T13:46:57.455-05:002010-12-30T13:46:57.455-05:00Sigh....Please stop crying when you leave home, it...Sigh....Please stop crying when you leave home, it's really too much. It's not as though you live a continent away and only seem them once a year. (trust me, been there - done that!) <br /><br />Also, get used to being the one who travels. I have not lived at home since I was 17 (I am 33) and I can count on my hands the number of times family members have come to visit me. My parents LOVE me - and I LOVE them, but its simply logistics. It's ALWAYS easier when it's just you traveling.<br /><br />Now that I am married, it's STILL easier to have the two of us travel - we are better off financially and are both frequent fliers - much easier than getting my 60 something parents on a plane or trying to convince my sister to fly with two children under 10. It's just life!<br /><br />There also comes a point where you need to let go. Your goal is to build your own life - and by hanging onto "home" in such an idealized fashion - you aren't doing yourself any favors. <br /><br />Having lived in several places - I can tell you this - it's not WHERE you live, its HOW you live. No where will EVER feel like home if you don't let it and you don't invest in it.Tanyanoreply@blogger.com
