really feel like I've
missed out on a big part of childhood with a set group of good friends.
Does anyone else share similar experiences? And how would you cope with
the lack of continuity in life?
i know how you feel, its been the same way for me. altho ive always been in australia, ive moved around alot.
I was born in Melbourne. After I was born, my parents and I went to alot of places around the world (which i cant even
remember, they used to say "do you remember when we went to blah blah" and i would always say, no i dont
remember any of that :-( ). After that I think we travelled around the west coast of australia until we got to cairns. i
was about 6 years old then.
we lived in a caravan park for about half a year there, then moved into a house. i started school not too long after
that. i lived in Cairns for 6 years, and despite the hot weather I didnt' like, I wasnt bad living there. but my
mum & dad broke up, and Mum wanted to move away from Cairns, so we moved to a little country town called Boonah
(near Brisbane).
Boonah was awful. It was a quiet, boring and depressing (imho) little town that i couldnt stand living in. My Mum and my
sister felt the same way by that time too.
We moved to a larger town called Lismore in northern New South Wales. it seemed like an alright place that was at least
better than Boonah. I've never had good social skills and its hard for me to make friends, but in Cairns and
Boonah, at least I had a couple of friends that were alright to hang around with. In lismore, I never really did make
any good friends. I didnt mind for a while, but thru the 4 years I lived there, I slowly become more and more sad and
depressed. Being abused at school the first 2 years I lived there didnt really help either...
Anyway, a month ago, I moved back to Cairns, to stay at my Dad's place. But I am no longer going to school. I am
starting TAFE in the middle of the year instead.
How have I coped with it? I havent really. I've just become more and more depressed. I wish I didnt feel like this,
but i really dont feel comfortable living where I am.
I've always wanted to live in a city, like Sydney or Melbourne again like when I was soo young I cant even
remember. Theres just something about the city which I love. Its so big, with so many people, and so many things to do,
but theres just something else I can put my finger on. Maybe its got something to do with how I was born in the city, I
dont know, but I dont think I will ever be really happy and not despressed until I move back.
