Welcome To My New Home

from JoeUser Forums
My cozy family of three just recently moved to a new house. The day after graduation we made the move to this house, and it honestly only took about 6 hours to finish up including the lunch and dinner breaks. We live an hour from my old home and strangely, I feel rather at home already, but I feel bad because my best friends Sarah and Alex are now about an hour drive from my new house. I can't find it in me to be happy about where I live right now even though my mom and little sister both found friends all around us. Maybe I'm being selfish about it all but I wish that I could just stay with one of my friends during the summer. I'm not comfortable here, even though the house itself is very inviting and relaxing.

I haven't written in a while so I can understand nobody reading this, but maybe I'll find myself with a few replies *cough* *cough* words of encouragement *cough*.

You know that we just want the best for you Brandon. I'm sure this move has helped your mom out a lot.

Just try and be happy in your new surroundings and VISIT OFTEN!

Take care bro.

I have moved 4 times in the last 3 years, and once was across the country. The company I work for is now in the process of moving to a new office, and I can tell you that moving is very, very stressful. There is nothing comfortable when your surroundings, previously warm and safe, are now all different. Even if you get your personal stuff unpacked and put away fairly quickly, it still doesn't feel right and won't feel right for some time. But I promise you that in time it will begin to feel like home!

As for having your friends so far away: I've been there too. You may find that they don't come to visit as often as you would like, and you may begin to feel like they don't care. This is probably not true. Whenever possible, you should make the effort to go see them, or call them to invite them over. Don't wait until you feel bad about not seeing them, just pick up the phone!

Moving is very hard on everyone involved. Harder than I ever thought it would be. An hour is a long way, but not as far as across the country. It might take a little effort, but you will still be able to see your friends.

Take care. I hope you settle in soon!

Thanks a lot Cordelia. You're right. This is going to need work from both sides to work out well. I need to visit from time to time but so do my friends. I don't think they'll have too big of a problem finding my house. The directions are pretty basic. Again, thanks a lot.
