Hello! I am new here too but have read Tiny Buddha articles throughout the past. I live in a big city and have lived in a new city every year for the past three years. I have decided to take time for myself to heal and find a place where I can give and receive love, make a home for myself and whomever I share it with, and be back in a more natural setting by the sea. It has been a very tough few years and couple decades in fact. I know I bounce from city to city and my coping mechanism tends to be leaving and starting a new life somewhere, and that you can do internal work anywhere at any time and I don’t need to leave the country to do that. However, I deeply believe and feel that part of me is already in this new place. This time I’m not leaving the city out of fear or with the unreasonable belief that leaving will fix everything including myself. I just want to be in this new place and I believe it already holds love and health for me. In the city everyone- even my dear friends- are chasing careers and success. I am not. I want love and sanity and health, and to be surrounded by like minded people. What do you think? Much love, Moi!
