Life / Consider going back to Poland? [90]
Im moving to Poland with the wife next summer... she is from Silesia... Im as American as they come, no Polish roots whatsoever. Ive been there a maybe 5 or 6 times and thoroughly enjoyed it...
I dont hate where Im from, I love my friends and family, and always will... they've all had mixed reactions about my decision to move there, some supportive... and some think Im crazy or being manipulated by my wife...
So Ive had to ask my self this question lately... what is 'home'? Cheesy sayings like "home is where the heart is" come to mind.. but really I think 'home' is wherever one decides to make it.
To put it in the most convenient definitions for everyone... I said simply this - "I have an opportunity to have a different kind of life than I possibly could have here... and Im gonna take that opportunity. It might make me crazy or miserable or divorced... and its a whole lot easier said than done... but I think its easier done than regretted."
I hope so anyway...
