Does anyone else suffer from...


The Grass Is Always Greener Syndrome?

I have had a problem with this for as long as I can remember. I annoy myself to be quite honest. I truly am happy with my life and I feel like I live in a great area. I really can't complain. BUT... whenever I live somewhere for a while I start to get antsy. I just want a change. Annoying huh? What's my problem?

The truth is, I have always wanted to end up in the Seattle area. I think I will always want that. I miss it all the time. Whenever I'm there I feel like I'm home and I never want to leave. So when we finally move back there will I want to stay forever?

Anyway, I'm not the only one who has this problem right? Maybe I am.

i too suffer from that disease. i am so antsy to get out of lacey, but it looks like we'll be staying here for awhile. i always am wanting to move back to colorado, but with the same thought....will i really be satisfied and feel content there if we actually did move there???

I totally have that problem. I have wanted to move back to Seattle for years and now that we are about too I suddenly want to live in Arizona. It's annoying isn't it? ugh!

i do feel like that. but i have satisfied myself that i will plan on moving every 4 years or so. there are so many places to live and explore so if your job permits, why not? plus moving forces you to get rid of junk. i'm moving today :)

I think where we grow up always seems to be the 'best' place. I felt this way about Victoria too but when I returned to live there it wasn't quite all I had in my mind. Now that we're not there any more I can't wait to go back!!!

Hahahahahaha! I just read your title and looked at the picture without moving on to the post. I was so confused and was trying to figure out what you were trying to convey by the picture. All I could think was: "does anyone suffer from...junk-smiting themselves on a fence post????" I was curious where the post was headed. Turns out not in the same direction I took it at all. I'm glad to know you don't suffer from smashing your lady-parts while trying to climb fences. Anyway, I suffer from this too. But I am currently living in my "seattle" and my answer is yes. Once you're there you will want to live there forever.

Em and I feel the same way Ash. We get totally antsy after living in one spot for more than 2 years. But this is the first time I haven't felt like leaving. I love Boston, even after 2 years. But I'm sure, especially after the baby is born, we'll want to head west soon.
