I'm able to travel without my mother/parents, and am considering English teaching in Asia at the moment. I'm not sure if living on my own is something I can adjust to, mainly due to loneliness.

What I want is very simple: Constant change.

I started this thread with moving to Europe in mind, but it's not the only option. I even think of moving to Argentina sometimes (even though I've never been there). There are a lot of places I love, and a lot of places I would be happy in.

I think you're a little delusional.

You've lived in one place for 20 years. You are looking to move somewhere that is well within your own comfort zone. You are scared to move without your mum.

You don't want constant change. You want to dream about moving and stay exactly where you are.

Which is fine. Plenty of people aren't cut out for adventures of the moving around variety. But please don't delude yourself that you are a special snowflake who seeks after change and who would be happy anywhere.

Purpletreefrog - You're the one who's delusional if you think you conclude such things about me from my posts. Geez, talk about jumping to conclusions...

You can add me to that list then as I'm bemused by the amount of sheer nonsense you've been talking so far and sound advice you've ignored. You really seem to be living in a very insecure place where you don't seem to be sure what you want except to live an adventurous life with the comfort and security provided for you by others - mainly by your mother. Are you even sure she wants these moves and to be uprooted from her life? Does she also seek 'constant change' as you put it?

It's kinda funny to see just how far some people can twist my words though... I'd tell you more about my life, except I don't like much the crowd. And no, it's not because of the contents of your posts, it's because of the character of your souls.

Hahaha....ahhhh snowflake. You seem to actually think I might care whether or not you want me to post in here.

Sorry, I post for my own amusement and your thread is quite amusing.

You think I jump to conclusions because I point out the inherent contradiction of what you are saying while you apparently can tell the character of my soul from my posts.

Never mind. You just stay in Sydney and pursue your writing career while mummy works to earn a living for you. Keep telling yourself how special you are.

I'm only interested in the opinions of nice people who don't jump to conclusions.

It would seem you are only interested in your own opinion rather than the opinions of those who've actually managed to do what you are dreaming of (ie move countries successfully). Which makes me wonder why you actually posted here in the first place. I guess to begin with you genuinely thought you wanted the opinions of others because you assumed they'd be the same as yours.

Never mind snowflake, you've learned a lesson about the mean old internet.

Damn. I thought I had the privacy settings on my soul set to "God Only".
