 Message  Givemethegun, I’m sure there is nothing actually wrong with Ohio. For me, living for three years away from my mountains was torture and Ohio would simply have been extending my misery. mae

 Message  don’t be afraid, just think of it as a vacation that u might not come back from. one time i had a layover in toronto. i gave my ticket to a stranger and stayed for two years. it made going home feel like a vacation.

 Message  My (former) husband, our children and I moved from Oregon to North Dakota where we lived for three years. I hated every single nano-second of that time. Finally, we moved back home, divorced and I worked as a supervisor in a regional benefits office. When the company centralized its operations, I had a chance to move to Ohio and be in the head office. I TURNED IT DOWN!!! DON’T GO TO OHIO!!!

I don’t know where you’re living right now, but I’d suggest that you do a little research on the place you’re wanting to go to - on the climate, the job market, demographics, etc. to see if you’d like it. No one told me ahead of time that ND is a meat locker in the winter and a steam bath in the summer.

Wherever and whatever, good luck! mae

 Message  It doesn’t matter where you are really, it’s all about who you’re with, and if you’re the loner type than I suppose everywhere could feel just as empty as anywhere else you could be.

 Message  Ohio isn’t so bad, I live there, but the world is huge.

I envy those that never feel the need to stay in one place.

 Message  Go for it, if your not going forward your going backwards. 99 % of the time I do something I’m scared of I end up havin a brillo time, and if I don’t then I live in the ignorance of not knowing any better, convinced I made the right decision when more than likely something amazing was on offer. Ya get me?

 Message  You’re in Ohio?
Oh, jesus, get the hell out of Ohio!


...just kidding. But if you really want to start a life for yourself elsewhere (assuming you don’t have any dependents, like kids, a spouse, a family member who you’re supporting, etc.) then I don’t see why you shouldn’t if it’s what you want.
