BACK to Calling for Stories - Loneliness moving homes, cities, or countries

Moving out story

The Idea

Last year, when I moved into my apartment I felt really alone, I have never been away from home before and come from a family of 6 with me being the oldest. I missed the noise of home, the comfort of knowing someone was always nearby. Even though I decorated, it didn’t feel like mine for a long time. I spent evenings staring at the ceiling, wondering if I made the right choice. It was lonely, but I knew I had to learn to be okay with it. After about a year getting a job and making friends was when I began to feel settled. I now wouldn’t have it any other way
