I've been living in the same house for the last 15 years of my life . I've seen lots of ups and downs.....but more downs....not really the fault of house, but there are 2-3 bad memories in the house I am living.

I am soooo desperate to move out to completely new city and start a new life. But financially, it would be so taxing . I'm not even sure I can afford it and in my current house, there are no rent issues.

If I think the reasons to move out - the main reasons are -

- Life has come to a standstill in my current place. I want to move to a new place and get a restart on my life.
- Also, in new city, there is no "pressure of performance", coz of my past experiences (i was bullied in school, I told myself that one day I'd have an awesome career....more successful than my bullies. Life is far away from the 'success' I imagined . While I matured up and realized that life is more than successful career, somehow this city is a reminder of those promises I made to myself and it doesn't go away. )

I just want to go far, far away to a completely different world, even if financially it would be very tough.

But arguments against moving are -
1. I am running away.
2. I am trying to look happiness in the wrong place.
3. Moving doesn't change anything, since you as a person remain the same. While any new thing in life (new job, marriage, moving) may make you happy, it's temporary and you return to your basal level of happiness.

I wish someone would share their experience/thoughts with me. Does moving really change anything emotionally??

Thank you for reading . Sorry if you're comatose.
