He put it much better than I did but it kinda sums up my thoughts I guess, assuming we lived in a world where you actually could move wherever you want with no legal/visa issues then I'd only move because there was something about the other country that I really really liked as opposed to something about my own that I really hated. |
..yeah, I guess it's a personal thing but that's what I feel as well, it's something that I would do for a positive and more going towards something/than moving away from, which is more of a negative.../still though, moving away from a negative can take you toward that positive and be perfect for someone..so good or bad/positive or negative..every 'reason' has a path and every path leads you...
