Back where you started
Have you ever embarked on a journey into the unknown to leave your present circumstances behind, only, before long, to find yourself right back where you started?
You head off into a new future, leaving the past behind. You’ve reached desperation point and you’ve simply had to make a move. New job. New city. New partner. New anything.
At first it all seems fantastic. Life is fresh. Circumstances seem so much better. You’re no longer around those people who annoyed you so much. There’s no boredom from driving down the same city streets on route to work. Everything is perfect.
And then it isn’t. The dream starts to become a reality. The people conflicts you’d fled from find new life with the new people in your life. The new city isn’t perfect after all. Work is still work wherever you are.
Before you know it either circumstances or choices slowly (or sometimes rapidly) lead you ‘home’.
The wonderful thing is that back ‘home’ everything is better. The problems which before seemed insurmountable now feel manageable. People who were grating are enjoyable again. Your city feels like your city again.
But nothing fundamentally has changed. Nothing that is except you.
