In reply to the discussion: How many times have you moved in your lifetime? [View all]Ron Obvious
(6,261 posts)22. I've literally lost track...
8 times by the time I was 18, then maybe 10-20 more times before finally buying a house we've lived in for the last 20 years, but during those last 20 years I've also lived in 4 other places.
It was hard always having to say goodbye to my friends when growing up, but on the plus side, it's made me self-reliant and an introvert who's very happy in his own company. Sometimes I feel a little envy for those who've spent their entire lives in a place where they have roots and where everybody knows their name and they're accepted.
A few months ago I was in hospital when I was suddenly overwhelmed with a desire "to go home". Problem is, I have no idea where that place is...
On balance, though, I wouldn't want it any different.

Only 3 times since set out on my own, but too damned many times before I hit 14. It sucked
