MrSelfDestruct Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have recently left the home I grew up in and moved 500 miles away to Kentucky.I'm posting this to update people and maybe ask, has anyone else had a fresh start in life and do you have any advice?

The Swanton825 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I moved from Wyoming all the way to Tennessee, the ride here was hell. My best advice is that people in this part of the country love to talk, so steer conversations towards what it's like living around there so you can get a feel for what people are like in your town.

RayW Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>Hey, I've not done the move yet, but I am about to move from East London to Lincolnshire (about 160 miles - but this is still 'huge' to me because I'm a Brit <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />), but I'm not going alone. My wife and kids will be (obviously) coming with me.</p><p> </p><p> It's scary, moving to a place I've only visited a handful of times. I'm opening a shop, too. It's real scary, but it's exciting. A fresh start, a new beginning, so-to-speak.</p><p> </p><p> I wish you the best of luck in your move and hope that Kentucky brings great happiness my friend.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm thinking about doing that, too. Would love to read about your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon_lit_tears Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I did this about 3 and a half years ago. Still the east coast, but 410 miles away to a place I knew NO ONE. well sorta. ANyway I left an area where we had almost anything you could want in a five-ten minute walking distance, to a place where everything is far away. I went from 24 hour stores, and restaurants (fast food mostly) to one little tiny store open 24 hours, and where even gas stations tend to close on Sundays, and early each day of the week. In my own experience it's scary. No matter your age (I'm getting up there in years:P ) but sometimes it's for the best. You can meet new people, start fresh, become someone you have always wanted to be. Some poeple want to forget their past, but NEVER forget who you were, and where you came from. Just be the person you want to be. All in all people have had good times with this and bad times with this. It's up to you to make it what you want. Good luck with your move, and geez why Kentucky?
