Where Everybody Knows Your Name, or Where Nobody Knows Your Name?


I'm I alone in this? Does anyone else ever feel like moving away and starting anew? I do! I mentioned in my last blog how I feel I'm in a career rut... I think I've hit a weight loss rut... I'm in a lot of ruts, and one of the many is a social rut. I feel like there are not a lot of single people my age to be friends with in Utah, and I feel like the few that exist I already know, and we have clearly not been able to establish a strong friendship, so it's time for new people.

I would love to leave Utah and find new people. My friends are all married and/or don't live near me, and I need friendships with single people near me. If I could move to a new city in a new state and start again. New ward, new neighborhood, new social scene, new job, new everything.

I don't know... it's just a thought I visit now and then... it would be nice...

  1. I totally can see where you are coming from. Maybe moving to a new city, or state is what the doctor ordered. But maybe not. Pray about it.
    I remember when you were on LDS singles or mingles or some thing like that. You had fun and went out alot. Why don't you do that again?
    I know you said it wasn't your thing and it's for desperate people, but I don't think so. I know lots of people that have and still are on it. They love it. Try it again.
    My friend Michelle lives near you and is also looking for friends and she is single! Hang out with her again.
    Good luck!

  2. If you move away you'll really miss us all here. (er....maybe not)

  3. NO!! I will never do internet crap EVER again!! But thanks. :) Yes Pete, I would miss people here, but I need something else, and it's not like I can't stay in touch with my family and friends when I leave.

  4. I wouldn't call it internet crap. That is how Lindsey and Hemi got together, spencer and Lindsey, Julie and steve, Katie and Mark, and other people I know. I know lots of people who like it and have fun.
    I say if you want a change, go for it! Move to a new state, get new job, go for the ghusto! You aren't happy now, so do it! What do you have to lose? Do it while you can.

  5. I don't blame you, Audrey! I often have thoughts of moving somewhere and starting all over again (with my family of course!) You know, a new place, different scenery. It'd be easier for you because you're single and not tied down to anything or anyone. Go for it. I always wanted to live in Seattle. Such a cool place. I'd also love to move back east or south. Georgia or the Carolina's. It'll probably never happen, but I can dream right?! One question though. What happens when you move and meet new people but then nothing pans out just like here? Start again? There's a reason though, that you're feeling this. Something is pulling you to find something (or someone??? ;) Follow your heart.

  6. I agree with what Kim said.
    It's kinda exciting, you could go any where! hmmm...... where? so many choices, so many states to choose. if it were me I would live back east or south. I am not much for California. I am not much for the western states, except Utah. But if I did stay west I would move to seattle. It's nice.

  7. I think if you just move cities it would help a lot. I don't mean move from one city to their next door neighbor, I am talking a couple of counties. I love traveling, and actually did the move a couple of times, but I was always too shy to make many new friends. Luckily I lived with my sister (which could be why I didn't make any new friends) but I am a HUGE advocate of moving. I hope you can get out of your rut soon and find life full of excitement!
