Not to get away from my problems, but to break old habits and force myself to be more focused. I have a child, a wonderful support system of friends, and a dysfunctional family. I am a full time student full time single parent. I keep going back and forth on the move. Your blog is reassuring for me. I know changing scenery is the best thing for me to do especially if I want to get my PHD. Thanks! I have thought of moving for the last two years.

But, if you're already moving--it can be a way to change a few habits at the same time. I think it all depends on your intentions. -Scott Mickey,

Although I agree that moving can help breaking some unwanted habits, many still hold the common wisdom I just mentioned. Its sad because people feel guilty and weak if they want to move,sometimes. This is very unfortunate because the goal is not trying to swim against the waves, but to find the right waves and ride them into shore in order to maximize our impact on people and the world. Good Job Scott ... its awesome that you started this blog when you were 17, bucking another trend that young people cannot attain "wisdom". These blogs speak to what most people think of as wisdom.
