I was wondering this because After the accident and then divorce I got a passport in hopes of finding love away from here and starting my intire life over again, Alot of people thought I was crazy including one of my children. So I thought id put this question out to everyone here. Would you pack up what you could bring and leave everything else behind to start your life over again with someone you have fallen inlove with?
Well for me i'd have to think what's best for my daughter also and moving her away from her family and out of the country would not be for the best. I've tried the long distance thing but it was only 7hrs from where we live now and it was too hard. I'm choosing not to meet anyone not close to ohio at this point in time. I have a very close knit family and we're all within 15mins of each other. When my daughter gets older (she's 14now) and more on her own, who knows but i'm happy with my decision now.

no because my roots are here.I have a 4 yr old son and my parents are here,my daughter is here,my grandson and Brandon's Dad is here.I think it is important for kids to have both parents and extended family in their lives.If my kids were grown I don't think I would leave the States except to visit England because I was born there or Canada would be okay.I figure if someone falls in love with me they will know this and relocate here.
i would be scared to move away incase it didnt work out, and i wouldnt want to upheave my kids from there friends and family, i think its a difficult decision to make, i think i would have to be blinded by love
There was a time in my life when I was not accetable to change,it still scares me every now and then,but change can definetly be a good thing. One never really knows until they try how things are going to be,what there going to be like or what is going to happen,until they try. My children are at stages in there life that if I was to make the decission to move away for love,it would be accetable,sure it would be hard,but so are many other choices in life we make. Its a chance I would take,one never knows if its the right decission to make,but love,true love is something that I would be willing to take that chance with,I never want to doubt what could have been,and besides, I can always find my way back home,but deep down I feel that if I was making that kind of change it probably is the right one. Life is filled with choice,its all up to us what choices we make.
I would not mind moving. But I would want the person I am moving to be with to understand my family is very importent to me so I would want to come visit with my mother dad and sister every other weekend. Or atleast every chance I can afford to. to make shure they are doing good. I will love the one I am with and my kid or step kids as much as I do my mother, dad and sister no madder what. I have plenty of love to share with all of them..
I would definitely move, for the right person. My children and I just don't have a close extended family, and we lost thier dad when I was pregnant with my son. We've been alone a long time. For a good mate, and a good father, we would be willing to relocate anywhere except the city. Some things I just can't change, and don't want to. We are country folk.
Hmmm,,That would depend on,,ifin YOU were on the other end of where I was headin!!! That was a pretty cool FLIRT huh?? Seriously,,,(Ya right,,like the blonde chic behind the keyboard EVER gets serious!!) Ifin the Purpose of the move was for "Love" and that "Love" was "Taking a Risk",,isn't that what Life and Love are all about?? "Its the heart afraid of breaking,,that never takes the chance. The Dream afraid of waking, that never learns to dance. The one who won't be taken, that cannot learn to give,,and the soul afraid of dieing,,that will not learn to live"!! Course I'd take the risk,,,but then I'm just the blonde chic behind the keyboard,,what do I know??? I'm ALWAYS the one,,ifin I see its raining,,I"ll just step between the drops till I get to the sun!!!! Stay safe,,Stay Happy!!! With a wink and a smile!!! Jesse!!
I posted on some other thread already, that I would move to any place for love. It might be because my parents emmigrated too, left family and friends.
It is so much easier these days though, sure the tickets might not be cheap, but if you want to see your family and old friends, you could do that anytime.
And you could still go back. I have a friend who fell in love with a man in California. She moved there, but felt lonely pretty soon, because he has been out working all day and she had no job. She told him how sad she was and they both decided to go back to Germany. They are very happy now. Got married and are planning on children now. She met him on a vacation. You never know where the one is waiting.
When I was a little girl and that famous question always came up..."What do you want to be when you grow up?" I always gave the same answer. A BUM. When they'd laugh at that and tell me a girl gouldn't be a BUM, then I'd say okay, then a GYPSY. The adults seemed okay with that. To me they were the same, they got to go to fun and different place, carreied everything they owned with them, and could leave at a mement's notice. I guess you could say that dream is still living in my heart because when I saw this thread I didn't even have to think about it before I though YES, YES I"D MOVE - ANY DISTANCE EVEN. Can you hear the excitement in my voice. I'd of course have to take a few prize possessions with me, and phonecards to be able to stay in touch with my family who I love and adore but to begin aknew with what may be one of the memorable true loves of my life - YEAH I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Distance... I hand't given it as much thought as the priginator. Perhaps I should get the paperwork going on getting my first ever passport as you knver know which way the winds may blow this gypsy girl.
Thanks for starting a thread that just has so many possibilities associated with it. Now you've got me thinking about trips I always planned to take when
I don't think any of us could leave "everything behind for ever" unless you either never had family, nor friends. I wouldn't do the forever thing. I have already given the long distance thing a go, once to Manchester England and the last Budapest, Hungary. And as the lovely Ninive puts it, you never know where love is waiting and the world is getting to be a smaller place. The way I see it, if you don't go, then you'll never know.
only you know how you really feel.....everyone has an opinion about what would be right for them or what they would do.......dont let fear stop you from having a great life.......no matter what you decide.....dont go back and say well I should have done this or that take it day and move forward........I would move almost anywhere personally but my children are grown except for one who is 16 and he has an adventurous soul like I do.........so if you can feel at peace with the person.......I would not worry about distance....but that is only me....and this is all about you..........forever is a long time......almost nothing is forever.....life is all about change
For the right person, I'd live in a box in Antarctica! LOL Ok, maybe not (I hate being cold), but I'd probably be willing to live in a box if it was in Ireland or Scotland.
All kidding aside, I just moved to Kentucky a couple of years ago and just bought my first house last summer, so I'd rather not leave just yet. BUT I would be willing to relocate for that one thing I've always wanted.
I'll agree with Tumpa that there's no "leaving everything behind forever" if you have any friends or family, but I get what you're going for, Coyoteman. My answer is, as far as necessary.
i would meet them in the middle if i love someone enough to move my whole life for them they should be willing to do the same for me otherwise it isnt worth it so i would meet them in the middle where ever that might be
I agree with you...there are times when I want to pack up and leave it all behind and start over. However with the kids it makes it a bit more difficult. It can still be done, but it takes more planning than hitting the highway with whatever fits in the trunk of the car and stopping when you feel like it.
If the situation was right I think I might make that move, even though everyone else might think i am crazy!
