I recently (last 6 months) went into tech away from my home town. (not too far; US town to different US town) I’ve found life to be good here, but I can’t help but think I had it made in my home town: in terms of family (father recently got out of rehab, and despite his issues, I love him), Great long time friends, along with some love interests (left one behind that I felt like I really clicked with!). I don’t know, it felt like life was getting good for me for the first time in a long time, and then I left to go for the job offer I accepted out of school. I certainly wouldn’t call myself depressed here, I’m active, see friends nearly every day. The town is really nice too. At the same time, I don’t feel the overwhelming sense of appreciation that I used to. There are some good work opportunities there as well, although I’m not sure if the pay would be quite as good. I try to keep in touch with my friends from town but its already getting hard. I’m afraid that if I wait too long I wouldn’t have much to come back to. Simultaneously I don’t want to waste the time I’m investing in my new home. Any thoughts hackers?
