I have moved around many times during my life.
When we moved to New York in April I hated it. It was a tough adjustment for me.
Now I like it much better and I think that it was the best move we have ever made.
It still surprises me that I like it here. Until moving here, I had lived my whole life in the South.
Living here is still not without its challenges but I have adjusted.
Following the election last November we decided it was best for us to move and when other situations came together, we decided to make the move. Even though I have moved around a lot, I do not like the moving process at all. However, we got to work and made it happen.
Sadly, there are some that didn’t understand why we moved and not happy with our decision. I am sorry about this reaction to our move. This was something we had to do. It is unfair to expect someone to stay in a place where they aren’t happy. We are happy here.
Although we are happy here, we are still not sure if we will stay here either. There are several factors which might determine another move. The main factor is finances and whether or not we can afford to stay where we are. It is very expensive to live here. So we could end up pissing off more people should we decide to move again. I don't know. We will see how this plays out.
For now, we will live in the present. We love the adventures we have here. We have easy access to the New York Subway and Long Island Railroad. We never had these adventures before. We felt stuck while watching others travel the world and living through their social media posts. Now we get to do it after not being able to do it for many years with our moves being dictated by my job.
Right now as I type this blog I could look to my right and see the LIRR train roll by with the skyline of Manhattan in the background. How cool is that? Yep, I'm liking it better now.
