Just curious, guys. Have you ever had to move? More specifically, have you ever had to deal with a drastic move?
I'm curious because I found out I may be moving. My father recently lost the Selectman race (kind of like a city council, but for much smaller towns) in my town, and my mother is not happy about this. We live in a town in which, if your family hasn't been here since who knows when, you're treated like an outcast. That is exactly how our family is treated, and one of the reasons my father's opponent verbally pressured people into not supporting him (threatening to make sure they lose jobs, permits, etc.).
My mother, being an anti-political woman, is outraged at how this town works. Just an hour ago, she went off on a tangent, ranting about how mistreated we are, especially my sister, who is borderline autistic, and my highly dyslexic brother. Now, I don't specifically agree with her, but these are her main reasons for wanting to move: Corrupt politics, and horrible education.
As for me, I do not want to move. I moved around a lot for the first three years of my life, and despite the many flaws of my town, I've grown attached to it. I have multiple reasons for not wanting to leave; first of all being my friends. I have trust issues, and making friends is not easy for me. Second of all, my desire to write and teach was founded here, and I can't just tear myself away from the source of my dreams. Lastly, the girl that I've been in love with for a long period of time is going to be here, without better knowledge of how I feel(mainly because I'm too big of a coward to tell her.
