Sparked by a discussion on SM. DF was in the RAF, frontline squadron so a very peripatetic lifestyle. Lots of moving, new schools, overseas postings and living in RAF accommodation. For a long time I thought this had had a positive effect on my life. I thought I was full of confidence, not afraid of change, eager for new experiences etc.
This was also in direct contrast to my sibling who would be distraught after every 'this is where we are moving to next' conversation.
Now mid forties and realising that some of those positives are really negatives. I am always looking for the next 'thing' never settled, find it really easy to drop activities and people and always wanting to make changes. Frankly its bloody exhausting. Is this me or as a result of my formative years? Genuinely interested to see how other people with the same upbringing are in their adult life.
Also I think I am allergic to magnolia and badly fitting carpets, but I am a master at packing and do leave a house 'march out' ready on moving.
