-- Posted by jenjenpoo at 4:20 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 i find it really weird/unsettling how people can just move because of jobs! i have a good friend (he's 21) who just moved to hong kong because he got a really good internship there, it's for 18 months so he's not even sure if he'll be back after that and my friends parents have jobs that require them to travel a lot so they're barely ever home that feels so unsettling to me! im really upset about my friend leaving.. and i cant really imagine moving like that. i mean unless u wanted to migrate to a different country anyway... how can everything about a place (old friends, your town, way of life) be so meaningless and 'whatever' to some people? oh and my cousin is on a study abroad program. which is only for 6 months but stillllll, i think even thats scary it scares me because it all feels very temporary lol am i just being a baby -- Posted by gdeeaz at 4:22 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 its not that they do not care about their friends and family, but its a great opportunity and you do not always get those kind of chances so you have to go for it when they do come along. if i could study abroad i would in a heartbeat.   -- Posted by supertrouper at 4:23 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 this is how i feel (take it from someone whos moved at least 5 times in their life) -- Posted by basketballbabe15 at 4:23 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 its different when you are going for a few months.  if you get the oppurtunity you should take it -- Posted by Duke at 4:23 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 I wouldn't say you were being a baby, just not being very realistic. People leave their birthplace all the time, to go to school, new job, or just for the hell of it. Do you really think people are going to live their whole lives within 5 miles of where they were born?
