I know, intellectually, why I thought of leaving, but looking at him sitting next to me right now, I don't know what ever possessed me to think that.<br/><br/>PH - Wow. That was a heavy answer. But you are right, life is what you make it, not what your location makes of you. N - he isawesome.

Just, wow. That was a heavy post. I think, from my limited viewpoint on the subject, that you would have made the wrong decision by going home, that as you said, it wouldn't have accomplished the things that you thought it would. I spent a long time thinking that leaving a place meant leaving the me that lived there behind, or that going back would mean going back to the point in my life when I'd left a place. Took me a long time (and still learning) that you are the architect of the place in which you live, and you can be miserable anywhere or happy anywhere. It's a state of mind.<br/>I'm going to shut up now. :) Wow. Just, wow. That was a heavy post.

I think it's common to second-guess yourself. I think it's normal. It means you care about what you left behind. I think you are making the right decision in staying. And that boyfriend of yours is just awesome.<br/><br/>-N Moving is not easy. I think it’s common to second-guess yourself. I think it’s normal. It means you care about what you left behind.
