Hi Marcus,

You’re a homebody and want to stay near your family. There’s nothing wrong with that! We’re led to believe that “High School is the Best Years of Your Life!” and “You’ll Meet Your Life Long Friends in College!” and “I Bet You Can’t WAIT to Get Out of Here!” and “Now You Can Finally Fulfill Your DREAM!” All media. All hype. All quasi-cultural.

Most people do stick close to home and only move when they have to. Most people do what they have to do to make a living, and come home and hang out with the family watching TV. Maybe barbeque with a beer on the weekends. Or even go to the city or to a live event in town occasionally. That’s Life. That’s actually Real Life. But we’re not “supposed” to want that, you see.

If you find your passion, have a cabal of Friends and get a burning desire to move far away, great. But don’t beat yourself over the head with it!

You’re doing fine!

Inky
