A change in environment can be a good thing right? Life seems like a struggle and to find solace we much look within but the energy around you in your environment has an effect on you right? So, if you don't really feel at home are you not really searching within, looking to hard within, or just need to change scenery? This has been on my mind lately. I am no longer in school because I don't like it there. I quit my job because I want to leave. I was planing a trip to Europe that was to be more of a spiritual journey than anything else but financially it would be a tight squeeze and I don't feel like coming back home once I leave. I just want to leave I feel like nobody here knows me and I can't really share with them who I am even if they may accept me. Is moving the best thing to do? I've always liked the Pacific Northwest even though I haven't been there. I feel like it would be better for me. I know people who have moved there and like it so much more. I desire things to change and to get them started maybe I must start that change on the subtlest level to the more mundane. What can anyone say to help? There are some people here that I don't want to leave. Maybe I must learn to let go of them for my own evolution and theirs as well. I feel like I have so much energy inside me but have no actual way to harness or release it or share it with the world... I'm going to meditate on all this for awhile.

You are not doing the wrong thing by wanting to leave, you are not at fault or failure. There is always a reason. Simply, you want to leave because you want to leave. You think you will be better off by leaving, by doing something else, by living somewhere else. We are in very similar situations. I just got to college and it's definately a hard place for people like us to be (large societies). I try my hardest to stay content, to continue spiritual journey, and it works to some extent but you can't help but noticing the surrounding environment and having it affect/slow you. Though, I have realized it happens for a reason. this is a test and experience for me. I have learned to meditate in a dorm room with people around blasting rap music(hah..) and making lots of noise. I have learned to shield myself better in public, from the massive amounts of people and negative energy and lower conciousness. I'm going to just pack up and leave soon, and live life as it comes. I've always wanted to go to the pacific northwest but it seems that with the coming earth changes lots of earthquakes and other hazards will be more prevalent there, so I'm not sure what I will do, except that I WILL leave. Wherever/whenever I go, I will be leaving behind family (not that we are very close, but still), and it will be very hard emotionally. these are very hard times. I don't know what can be said about this, but I feel it must be done for the better of everything. It is something that must be bared, I think. It seems to me you've already undergone your similar test. You don't feel at home because you don't feel at home! No matter what you end up doing, your intuition will never fail you. It's a good call to keep meditating because the answer is inside you. As I write this, hate/seperation music is playing loudly from nextdoor and shaking my walls.

NewSociety, that's horrible about the music, I have neighbors like that too who drive me insane.
Uriah, I grew up in the pacific northwest, Washington to be exact, and I have to say it is a BEAUTIFUL area and perfect for someone who wants to find themselves, start anew, get deeper into spirituality, etc. I have tons of friends up there too - right now I live in California.
I think that if you're getting the driving urge to move and your intuition is telling you that the Pacific Northwest would be a nice place to live, I think you should ultimately follow your feelings. There are great colleges out there too in case you want to resume schooling, and lots of places to work, their economy is actually growing right now. Honestly, we only live once, and we're going to see all those loved ones afterwards in Heaven anyway, so the only thing really holding you back is uncertainty and I'm sure a few financial concerns. I think that if you were to let go of those people around you and let your inner God take you where you want to go, you'll find yourself much more fulfilled.
Whatever you decide, just know that there is no wrong decision and ultimately your true path will lead you, just trust in God and your instincts to take you to the right place. =)

Go where your heart tells you.... it may be hard at first because you're leaving people you care about behind, but it may lead you to new places. Who knows, maybe if you do go, you'll meet other people just like you? Search, and I'm sure you'll find, with a little help**

Uriah -
I am currently living on whidbey island, in washington. Personally, I love rain and cloudy weather (i'm not sure why) and it's so beautiful here with the trees and everything that i feel like i don't ever want to leave the NW, even for college. if you do want to come here, be ready for rain, though ^__^ Lots of lovely hikes, though...

URIAH,
My dream has always been to see the entire country that I was born in. Canada is so alive! I've only made it as far East as Quebec city. I will see Her all. I feel you should explore the country you were born in, so when you travel to other countries, you will really know exactly where you're coming from. Isn't that the ultimate freedom? Road trip it through the history and roads of everything you were taught about who you are, and really, really find out for yourself; What is America?
In the Forbes top 10 list of safest places to live in America, 4 of them were listed in Washington.
