“I am sometimes overcome with guilt over being away for so long”

Can relate to this as a fellow twentysomething the guilt of being away can feel so big especially with ageing parents and grandparents.

Leaving home and deciding to stay home are both uncomfortable decisions so I guess it’s up to each of us to determine what level of uncomfortable you are willing to accept🤷🏻‍♀️

wow! As someone who has done the cross country move twice you really summed up every feeling. One thing I love about this platform is finding people who can sum up things you haven't quite digested yourself. I wrote a piece about the weekend we spend at our grandparents when we are children and how we feel discomfort as we get older that we can't get that time back. Needless to say, this week I have been in my feels. Your piece helped me process some undigested emotions, thank you
