Currently on a trip with my partner to visit his family (my in laws). We’ve had a bit of a rough start at the beginning of my relationship with them because of cultural differences but now (6 years later) I have a pretty good relationship with them. Moving across the country away from them was the best thing for me.
That being said, as an obsessive creator and someone who loves to travel, there’s no way I’d ever live near them or even near my own family in my home state. I’ve realized I love living far away from people (family) so I have more time to focus on my creative endeavors with little to no distractions.
That may sound strange, but I don’t mind visiting family like once or twice a year (preferably once a year), just don’t want to live on the same side of country as them lol.
I enjoy my solitude so much that I honestly enjoy being alone most of the day, and I’ve accepted that. I feel more like myself when I’m allowed to just be and not worry about showing up to everyone and their grandmas house all the time to do god knows what.
nothing really important I’m saying here, just doing a random rant since I’m away from any friends that I can talk about this too 😂
