Shaggy6 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Hello y'all. I'm startin to hit my late twenties. I've lived in the same city I was born in for a majority of my life. Most of my friends I've had for a long time. A few are gettin married and some are moving away. I still talk to all of them but its not what it used to be like. the ones that move away i might talk to once in awhile and see em once a year. Same thing with the married ones. Just seems like its me and a couple others that are ever around to do anything. I want to move but my friends are kind of my safety net but they aren't really a part of my every day life anymore. I've never really went out on my own before. I have a good job here but haven't really had a serious relationship in a while for the sole reason that everyone my age moves away because the job market here sucks. so theres like a huge gap. all the bars around here are all college kids. all the nicer restaraunts and pubs are all 40 to 50 year olds. Slim pickins. I know everyone's thinkin that I can always move back but if I hit the road I'm gonna lose the job and I'm probably not gonna get a comparable one back. How hard is it to meet new friends at my age? How hard is it to just start all over from scratch in a brand new place? I do have a degree. So that should help. I guess I'm torn between the two sayings, "You'll never know if you don't try," and "everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence." Should I be content. Is what is happening the norm for people my age? Those with any experience or stories PLEASE SHARE.
