OMG Have I decided to move house?!

OMG I think I've just decided I'm going to work towards moving house?!

Posting it in this topic as it is part of a transformation, a spiritual development I'm going through.
I've lived here for just over 10 yrs now and to be honest, I've never felt at home, that I belonged here in this village. Not even in this province, but certainly not this village.
Even someone from this area who had lived here for a few years moved away last month as she couldn't "land", didn't feel at home here in this village.
People here are odd. Not very easy nor open to share, be respectful to others (like their neighbours), it's just me, myself and I kind of mentality.
That's totally alien to me, people in the province I'm from are the opposite: warm, welcoming, open, friendly.


There are pros to staying here: lot of privacy, it's a semi-detached so only neighbours on 1 side. Bummer being that they're neighbours from hell.
Even their dog is ill-behaved and starts barking each and every time I set foot out my backdoor, their cat is a pain in the neck, harassing my cat that now sometimes daren't go out anymore and so on.
It seems to get worse and worse.
I've been trying to ignore it, to focus on the positives.
But now recently my mum moved to this area (not in this village) from 125kms away as she's getting older. I wanted her closer since she got unconscious and fell last year, lay on the floor for 1,5 hrs until the police battered down the front door.

In any case, that entire moving stuff from my mum got me thinking. It actually stirred things inside of me.
As it is I'm going through a huge process, that I've posted about under "energy work", and I think the time has simply come for me to get away from this village, to find a place that is more welcoming, where I can properly "be" and root etc. etc.
I don't even have friends anymore...

Funny thing is I was emptying my wardrobe a bit a month ago to make space, planning to sell some stuff.
And again in the back of my mind the thought rose that it'd help when moving house if i had less stuff.

It does scare me. A bit.
Then again, it's not like I'd be moving within a few months. I first would have to sift and sort through my stuff and get rid of an awful lot. It's likely I won't get another 3 bedroom house, plus this one has a large extension (as big as the living room).
So I will have to sell and/or dump much, not just close, some furniture too.
My settees can go for sure. I don't even use them, hihi.
And there's my drumkit... can I really say goodbye to it?

And there's fear of the financial part and physical part as I cannot do all that myself. I doubt I can even get packed by myself with my physical stuff and neck & head injury....

It does feel good though when I think of living somewhere else. No longer in this negative, not welcoming, certainly not matching energy!!
Maybe this staying here is making my body react in bad ways. My ailments are getting worse and worse you see.
And living here is like a constant uphill battle. Trying to enjoy it, relax etc. while it's just not possible.
Dang...
That sounds like I have indeed made up my mind.

What a process & transformation this is!

Having moved house many times in my life, I have always found that external change reflects internal change, signalling a new phase in my life.

Yes, making a new start can be scary, there is plenty of upheaval and things to sort out. But once the move is made then we can enjoy wherever we find ourselves.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Peace

Sorry about your neighbors from hell. I had those, and I moved last year, I decided to not get close or form friendships with my neighbors, one has come by sometimes only requesting to trim the tree in my front yard so he can see to get out of the driveway. So it's cool

OMG indeed! Because almost word for word I could have written this post . The length of time I've been here, a very rude next door neighbour that has recently moved in. Possible house move for mum that has recently become widowed , I live a distance away from her and all other family members, and I've been trying to de-clutter even though I think it's highly unlikely we can move because of my illness and my husband working all hours to earn the money to live on , plus he is my carer and does all the shopping/ dog walking/ gardening / and we don't have money to get help in with household or desperately needed renovation/ decoration. Plus, the house is a massive 3 storey old Edwardian property.
I know this house no longer serves us, and I would move in the blink of an eye but just seems like an impossible situation and I'm starting to feel "trapped".
As for you, I think you too know that really you would like to move .... Your soul is telling you to "free yourself" LOL... Just like mines telling me !!!!
But as I say, it's not easy is it ?
But I do absolutely know exactly what you are feeling , and I hope that you can somehow find a way to make it happen and be truly happy and settled somewhere else.

I am in the process of getting the house ready for sale so we can move.

Once the mind is made up, it is a matter of getting the physical in place.

Fairy Crystal I too live in a place of closed off people, in which I do not fit. I always felt I was here for a reason. Though I know one day, that reason will shift, as all of the services we need are so far away.

I wish you well in your decision and if you decide to move, I hope you find a place that eases the stresses on you mind, body and spirit.

Once I know where everything is and been everywhere and got to know lots of people and a bit of a routine starts falling into place, then I go AIRPORT!!!!!! Lol

Moving to another place is exhilarating and stops you getting stale. It recharges the brain and wakes you up. IMO

Great idea FairyC.

You’re right Sky it’s in the blood! (All my ancestors were Romany’s and travelling showmen) But I understand that it’s not for everyone.

Personally, I just couldn’t exist without lots of change in my life. Ide go crazy lol
Whenever I’ve gone somewhere, even for a week I come home recharged for months afterwards. Wonderful feeling!

I hope FairyC has a wonderful feeling as well.

I think at first I needed it as I was coming out of a draining, very nasty relationship with a narcissist. After 10 yrs with him I was spent. I needed the peace and quiet (neighbour was still alone then, working out every day, so I did have peace & quiet at the time).
I wasn't ready to socialise, I just needed to be by myself and recover. Took me about 2 years I think. I can clearly tell when looking at photos of myself shortly after I moved here. The light in my eyes wasn't on yet. I was still a shadow of myself, even though I was SO happy to be here, away from him, etc.

Now I've lived here for nearly 11 years and I've fully healed, changed, grown, and now I DO need socialising etc. This constant thing in this place that feels like an uphill struggle is now beginning to wear me out. Not like the narcissist did of course, but it simply isn't a relaxed way of living. It's like a li'l stone in your shoe when going for a walk. It's not seriously hurting or damaging you, but it is seriously annoying, and an irritant that will grow more obtrusive with time.
I always thought/sensed/felt I'd move out of here in 2015, which would've been 3 years after moving in. But now I've lived here for nearly 11 years. I'm beginning to think I've overstayed my welcome, haha.
Typical Taurus and me thing to stay in a situation for too long and not get out when I should. Same as with the narcissist in that sense. I knew years before I left him I should go.
