Do you think you live in the place you were meant to be? I don't!!! In my heart I should be living in Harlem,NY or Toronto rockin a huge afro with my incense burning in my apartment overtop my little vegan eatery full of intelligent artistic-minded customers who come for good food, stimulating conversation, and relaxing ambience!!!!

What about you?

    I should be living off the grid on a farm, raising my own food, creating energy through wind, water and solar options. Living the good life celebrating nature and the turning of the seasons.

    I feel that I am exactly where I want to be, raising my five kids in beautiful North Texas.

    Currently and for the foreseeable future, suburbs, east of Toronto. Too many people to have privacy, to few people to have things to do.

    I'd just like to live somewhere I don't need a car to go to the grocery store with my boys. A coffee shop that is close enough to walk to would be nice too.

    I feel bad saying this b/c I love my daughter with all my heart but there are days (and I think every mother single or not can relate) that something happens, same *kitten* different day, kinda thing and I can't help but just bury my face in my hands and say, "THIS IS NOT MY LIFE!!! THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE!!!"

    I'm also raising kids in (very rural) north Texas, I thought moving here would be best for my kids...but do I feel like I belong here?
    No way.

    I miss my smelly, polluted, traffic-riddled yet sprawling, open-minded, and multicultural hometown (Houston I love you!). I'm so stoked to be going home for the holiday.

    Hell no! THIS (PA) is NOT where I'm meant to live... I like warm weather and beaches too much to be here. I would LOVE to relocate someday.

    I know I'm where I'm supposed to be for the moment, but I don't like it here. Am trying to find a way to like it. Would love to move to the east coast near my youngest daughter. So many things I want to see and do over there.

    I am going to say YES! I am originally from California (South Bay Area). Moving to a retirement town at the age of 30, people thought I was nuts. Personally, I feel more relaxed here. My commute to work is only 20 minutes, this also depends if I have encounters with the wildlife, you know bears and deer. I do live 50 -60 miles away from any big box store. The ocean is only 15 minutes away. I live about 5 minutes from a lake (if the wind blows the trees just at the right angle, I can see the lake from my living room). My job isn't the greatest, but it pays the bills.

    Live in the suburbs of Dublin, Ireland - close to the Wicklow mountains (they are really just hills - but we call them mountains!! :bigsmile: )

    Need to live on a farm with my horses, dogs and cats.. Much rather the outdoor lifestyle - out everyday, manual labour - being properly tired at the end of the day - not mentally exhausted..

    Someday.. It will happen.. Absolutely has to...

    Till then, riding my horses as often as possible and getting outside away from work - thats good...

    I could NOT imagine living anywhere other than the Great State of Texas. I have the majority of my family within 20 minutes of me. I would however like to move to Port Isabel and buy a little house and go into the shrimpin' bidness.

    Im right where I need to be!

    Until my parents are gone and my nieces/nephews outgrow me, I'm where I need to/want to be (In Oklahoma). But eventually I want to live on a beach, somewhere I can wake up to the sounds of the ocean and sand covering everything I own.

    I grew up on Long Island, wasn't for me. Lived in Florida, wasn't for me. Lived in Vermont, was my favorite place to be. Got divorced, ended up in upstate NY. Still want to be in Vermont.

    So, yeah, I'm happier in the mountains.

    For some reason I always seen myself living in North Carolina. Hasn't happened yet. I know I could be alot happier with my life but maybe someday I will figure out where I should be.

    NC isn't that great lol. I moved here from VA and while I mis VA, I feel like I need to be in New Orleans or thereabout. Always wanted to move there.

    Anywhere closer to the equator will work for me though, since I love hot weather!

    Yes. I'm happily married with money in the bank. I'm living on my beautiful and lively university campus in a high end apartment with my own washer/dryer and even have an elevator while being on the top floor. I walk to the fancy gym or walk to class. I have a super nice paid off car and a husband I love with all my heart that has an amazing job. I live in downtown area but it is a small city so we still have trees and space to breath. My internet and cable are free even! I'm also alive in my religion, healthy in my life, and close to my family. :) Couldn't complain at all.
