Stephanie Bendixsen Instagram – Thinking about moving. So hard to leave – but the isolation has been tough. I love the mountains. The beauty, the affordability, the space, the air, the winter log fires, the beautiful European autumn leaves at the turn of the season. All things to be missed.
But as an introvert who works from home – I think it’s also been a little damaging to be so cut-off from the world, because I’m so comfortable living my life online. I can plug myself into the matrix and be content to never see the sun. If it wasn’t for dance – I think I would have fused to my chair and let my mind disconnect entirely. If you’re anything like me you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about – and how intoxicating that can be.
It will mean some lifestyle changes… I think also the older we get, the more terrified we become of discomfort. We fall more heavily into routines and patterns. Eat the same things, choose the same activities, keep the same habits. Even moreso if you’re neurodivergent in any way. And when we’re unhappy – we take pleasure in the small comforts afforded in the familiar.
But even though moving is such a lothesome task (modern life comes with so much stuff) …maybe we’re not meant to be in one place all the time? | Posted on 23/Feb/2025 10:43:42
