I remember feeling this way when I had just gone through a very difficult trial. I wanted to move far, far away. Eventually I did.  But then I always had my home town in my heart and didn't return for 30 years.  What a shock and how different everything was. I also agree with Sinome and think it is true, when you go somewhere, your troubles follow.  Sometimes moving away is good, as it helps us see ourselves in a different perspective.

I'VE LIVED THE LIFE OF A ROLLING STONE WITH NO REGRET.

This is rather pensive and perhaps the lesson to be embraced is to see the new fledgling emerge from behind the mask! Interesting post Roma!

 I guess that masks make us feel comfortable in places far away. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

I FEEL FOR YOU! I do not love change, unless I instigate it! It will all work out, I'm sure...but the transitioning is what's painful.

Ever since graduating from high school (7 years ago), and I always had this fantasy of studying/living abroad, like Sam said, for the experience, and like you said, to be somewhere where no one knows my name.

How I could relate! I have often wanted to move where no one knew my name just for the experience! This was a very captivating post! sam

Roma... It is been my experience that no matter how far I have traveled I have always brought with me my problems.  There is no running away from what we are sweetie... and no matter which city you would have chosen, what you had to resolve would have gone with you.  If you are coming back home now and it feels different ... its not home that has changed but you... You have evolved through whatever experiences you have had ... but the core of you is the same and whatever was there before you first left and you did not dealt with, its still there.  The good news is that you can look in the mirror and decide that today is the first day of the rest of your life and as such you can make it whatever you want... the possibilities in front of you are limitless if you are looking forward and not backwards... You can do it!  Good luck xoxoxo

Roma, you have such a deeply intuitive and introspective heart ~ your pen carries your gift.  I liked this blog, peeping behind your mask  ~ Elyse
