Thoughts on Moving From a Small Town to a City

As of this post, I’m not sure where I’m going to move, or when I’ll move, but I wonder if where I will ultimately move to is a city. I’m from Arizona and still live in the same small town I grew up in. I like living in a small town and it’s a lifestyle I don’t want to sacrifice, but I know that there are more job opportunities in cities than in small towns unless I work from home. And that’s why I’m struggling with where I should move to.

For the most part, were I move to is dependent on my allergies. I also usually work from home, but I would like to move to an area where I can work with others in my line of employment. I don’t mind traveling to an area where I work or work with others I need to work to, but I don’t want it to be over an hour drive away. I also want to live in an area where I can buy groceries without driving 30 minutes away. And, of course, I want to live in a more rural area.

Because of this, I seriously think about living in a city or in a suburb near a city. And I’m not very sure if I’ll like it. After living near a small town for so many years, the idea of moving to a city worries me. I know I can do it, but I don’t want to be fully committed to staying in the city. I also have many worries such as safety, traffic, and other concerns about living in a city that I didn’t experience while living a small town. Yet, if that’s where I need to go, then I’ll go.

Overall, I’m very nervous about moving. I’m worried about the housing market in Arizona, which is very busy, and finding a new home in an area where my allergies aren’t as serious as they currently are. And I still haven’t ruled out moving out of state. I just need to remember to take my time with the move. I also need to focus on saving my money and not worry too much about moving right away. It will happen, just not when I want it to.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

5 Holiday Things I Want to Do In My Future New Home

This holiday season I’m currently living with my relative. I started living with my relative when I became very ill years ago, but I always dreamed of buying my own house and living in it. In 2019, I planned to buy my own home and move out of my relative’s home, but my relative had some health issues that required me to stay and help my relative for the rest of the year. Although I planned to move out in 2020, the pandemic postponed home buying and moving indefinitely.

Despite this holiday season not being a normal one, or one spent in my own home, I still dream and plan for my future home. This has been hard because I’m not sure where I’m going to live or how big my home will ultimately be. Still, I think of all the fun things I can do while living in my future home. Since it’s the holiday season, I thought it might help myself feel more hopeful about my future home if I write a post about five holiday themed things I want to do in my future home.

My 2020 New Year’s Cleaning and Thoughts About My Future as a Homeowner

It’s a new year and for many people, it means it’s time for a new start. For me, it means more time to clean my house. It’s really embarrassing to admit, but I do not own the house I live in. Due to a lengthy illness (an antibiotic resistant infection) that took over 10 years to be cured from, I couldn’t own my own home and, when I had the money to, I couldn’t live alone due to my illness. So, I lived with a relative. I had so many dreams to own my own house and move away from the area I currently live in, but right now I’m still on the road to recovery and working to earn and save enough money to move.

Even though I do not own the house, I still want to pitch in and keep the house clean. I do this for two main reasons: I still live in the house, so I want to make it more comfortable to my relative and I to live in and I want to thank my relative for all the years of allowing me to live in their house. After working on preparing for my first venture into painting my relative’s house, I began to realize my own insecurities about owning my own house without someone there to help me.
