Home
I recently took a trip home, which is Tennessee, and I gained some awareness, as is the norm for trips like these for me.
Since I have been in the midwest, I have felt "out of sorts" for some time, which was originally odd for me, as it's the place I was raised. But, when I started to miss "my mountains", I knew something was off.
Missing A Place
I never thought that I would move away from an area I've lived in, and started to miss it. Not people mind you, but the area itself. The forest, and the "hills" and trees which make up the mountain scenery. For reference, as a former Marine, I have literally lived all over the place. Several states here in the U.S., in Iraq for some time, and I called the middle east home for about 8 months during Desert Storm.
So, moving away from a place and suddenly "missing" it was new to me. However, that's exactly what happened, and now I am looking forward to moving back to the Smokey Mountains to stay.
Find Your Home
I have to say that if you happen to feel "out of place", as I have most of my life, you owe it to yourself to follow your "intuition", if you believe in that sort of thing, or "divine guidance", whatever you want to call it, to find your home while you're here in this 3D realm. I promise, once you find it, you'll know.
I was only able to gain this realization through my moving to the Midwest area, and experiencing just how unhappy I began to feel. Ever since I have been here, I have felt frustrated, and somewhat sad that I could not go for a hike on my favorite trail, or go visit one of the attractions in a local area, which is impossible to do here. When I visited TN a few weeks ago, it was like a breath of fresh air had been given to me, and I finally knew where I belonged.
Do Some Traveling
If your in a place right now in your life that you feel "stuck", or "trapped", I invite you to do some traveling. Go visit some of the areas that you have always dreamt about going to. regardless of where it is on the globe. You may just end up finding your home, and choose to move there.
Happy travels, and thanks again for your support.
