Have you moved around a bunch at any point
I'm just wondering. We have an interesting mix of folks here.
I'm just wondering how many folks lived in one place vs moved around (different cities, states, or countries) when they were young (often child of military parent) or as an adult (military is a big reason) or if you've mostly lived in one place.
When I was 5, I think, dad went "back" into the military (had been in the reserves and deployed when my parents were first married). From then until I was out of the house, we moved every 2.5-3 years.
I know that Glenn moved around a lot, I think every year, or maybe sometimes multiple times per year. I'm sure there are other folks that have probably moved.
I think about it from time to time. I love that we moved around and what I was exposed to through that. I also think that I may have missed out on some things by moving around, although if I could snap my fingers and go back and chose to do one or the other, I'd still move around. I did move as an adult, from the Tampa area to the Houston area. I have moved a few times since coming to the Houston area 30 years ago, but I'm roughly still in the Houston area, so I'm not counting that as moving around as an adult.
You can choose more than one option (in case you moved around as a kid and and adult).
Do you have thoughts on how moving or not moving affected your life and development? Are you happy about it or would you prefer to have done something different?
