Choose guilt over resentment…it’s so true!! I moved away for 10 years and I’m back in my hometown now and I love it. I didn’t love it when I moved away. So definitely the time away was needed
The great thing about leaving your hometown is it isnt permanent and you can go back. I left at 22, now almost a decade later at 31 I'm in the process of selling my house and finding one close to family. I have no regrets, I needed the time away to experience life on my own and appreciate those connections even more. A realtor is coming to my house as we speak to talk numbers, I'm coming home.
So glad to hear this ❤❤
Aww my nieces existence kept me existing too. It was so hard to move away and when I heard her little voice crying over her cat dying killed me and I moved back to the same town.
See…stay where you are!
@@cherylvisconti no regrets either way, but home is definitely where the heart is🫶
Moving away from hometown is a great learning experience for people. Especially good for people when they experience a totally different region of the country. Can always go back.
I leff my home town 16 years ago, live in another country, learned a second language. The people who want to and should be in your life will make the effort to be in it, even if it is only on facetime. It was surprising to see who didn't bother.
Personally, I find it weird that there are people that do not leave their hometowns, at least for a while. I have lived in seven states and in multiple parts of two of those states. I can’t imagine having spent my life in one place, especially not my tiny little hometown, where nothing is really going on.
it's hard, i'm getting ready to leave for the second time this coming weekend. it's hard for me personally to leave my family behind, not that i'll never see them again, but it reminds me of how we're all getting older and im not that little boy anymore. i'm also terrified to go to a new city where i know nobody, but i figured i better give it a shot before i end up 40 and have regrets.
Haha I grew up in a small town, moved after HS to another state, loved it for awhile but now that I’m married and have kids I actually really just want to move back to my hometown.
I’m with John on this one. Move and give it a try and if it doesn’t work over a couple of years, you can always move back.
It's not like he's moving away from his children...
Go dude !! Open up your oppertunities & Explore life!
Since leaving home 10 years ago, I've moved every two to three years and now have lived where I am for five years and can't wait to leave. Moving brought a lot of challenges, excitement, growth, and new perspectives on life.
On the other hand, I miss the built-in support system I had back home. There was always a sense of community, even when you felt smothered by it at times. I've not really had that since leaving, at least not consistently. During that time, my grandmother died, and I can't help but think about the amount of time I lost by leaving. I have mixed feelings about the decision that I have to grapple with daily.
Before leaving home, I suggest writing two lists. One with pros, and the other with cons, then write down the benefits and risks of each pro and con. Really think about if what you will gain by leaving is worth what you will give up.
Go, young man, go! God speed.
20 years ago today, I chose to leave my small hometown and moved 1400 miles away. It's been tough at times, especially in the beginning, but you can travel back or even move back whenever or if ever you feel the urge to do so. Live your life for you! ❤
I've lived on 3 continents, in 4 countries, and here in the US in 2 different states. Zero regrets.
Life is not meant to be lived in one place move often travel often and live
My mother moved often.... she's broke now. I wonder if she thinks about the thousands and thousands of dollars she spent on all those unnecessary moves.
Says, the random RUclips comment lol some people are content staying in their hometown. Growing their roots deep. Nothing wrong w that. Also, if you feel lead - travel. Life is meant to fear God and keep His commandments. That’s the whole duty of man.
@@RepentImmediately nobody is speaking in this context.
@@subjecttochrist Jesus said go out in the world and preach.
@@alluringbliss4165 so, your hometown isn’t part of “going out into the world?”
Left in my twenties. Back before 30. Left again at 46. Best thing I ever did! ❤. Can’t see myself ever going back.
I have never lived in one location my entire life. I had the opportunity to live in new places. I moved around about every 3-4 years. Partly because of what my parents did for work was the reason. I have gotten to travel and live in places I didn't think i'd ever go too. And a couple of those places I want to go back too one day. I can't see myself living in one place my entire life. I've had it programmed in my brain that i've been in a location 3-4 years, time to move on to the new location.
It is different today with things like facetime etc - so it is not a big deal leaving. Go live your life now while you are young.
Wow, I can't believe this video popped up!! I am in the same predicament, however my nieces are now older and teenagers with their own lives, although I Will miss them and the rest of the family, I am just ready to get out of this place! My family here is doing the same thing trying to get me to stay here.
I felt the same way when I first left for the Marines and when I re-enlisted into the Army. It’s tough to move from loved ones and all things familiar, but trust me when I say it’s worth it. I’ve been everywhere across the US, along with Asia and Europe and my family is nothing but supportive. If your loved ones truly care, they will understand when you decide to go and will only want you to be happy.
John is correct that you can always go back. I personally feel that the Midwest is where dreams go to die. Family isn’t worth that feeling.
I used to think like that; now everyone in my family is dead. There’s no family to go back too.
Depends on your phase of life. I've done it all in the big city corporate stuff... Would love to just move to the Midwest and kick around on a tractor all day.
You’ll only regret the opportunities you missed if you don’t leave!! You will grow and change in ways you never thought you could. Staying in a small town is a dead end. You’ll remain stagnant and complacent. It is better to be guilty than resentful, although there’s nothing to be guilty of. Doing you and living your life is nothing to be guilty of. Life is for the living! And it’s better to give a resentment than get one!!😛Remember, if it doesn’t work out you can always move again. Love Dr. John’s advise.
This is crazy. I’m in the exact same boat, 24 living at home never left the area even for college i stayed close by. Chose to move to Austin this year, feeling guilty because i’m close to my family and scared. I needed the see this!! My heart dropped when he said he’s thinking about moving to Austin, i’ve gotten so many songs recently confirming it❤
I moved out of my hometown 3 years ago. 100% WORTH IT
I can tell by this man’s voice that he ain’t going anywhere!!!!
NEVER IGNORE THAT CALL TO ADVENTURE WITHIN ONE'S SELF
I will never understand people who put their lives on hold for people outside their immediate family unit. Like its great to stay in touch and travel and visit at holidays but I would never change the trajectory of my life for a cousin or a nephew unless they would adopted and would never expect the same from those people either.
If you have a plan to move then do it. Take your business with you. Get your TX RE license and maybe keep Ohio's current and work both states or work on referral. Build your life.
Don't feel bad .explore the world while you can.we travel a lot and you will learn a lot and now that we are getting old looking back I'm glad we traveled but don't forget where you came from and the people you love and the people that's loves you
I didn't realize the caller was from Toledo. It seems to be a common interest for people here. I've struggled with the idea of leaving but I never pulled the trigger. I'm kind of glad I haven't because I had no plans but shout-out to this caller hopefully you make the move
I moved away from my hometown nearly 3 years ago. I literally moved from the East Coast to the West Coast. I have no regrets. Honestly, the distance doesn't feel so big when you talk, text and FaceTime your family/friends. I went back to visit for my mom's birthday two weeks ago, and I feel like I didn't miss a beat. Also, it's super important to have a community/support system in your new city. So, make sure to go to events to meet new people and ask your current network if they know anyone out in Austin to connect you with. Chances are you know some people who have friends/family out there to get you started.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that I left my hometown!!!! Then again, I didn't have emotional attachment to anyone.
You will not regret it. GO.
Auntie here, got to love up the little people I. Your life while they are young because they soon grow up, in the 11-12 year old range it starts to be that they are more interested in spending time with their friend or playing sports. Don’t move away for a long time, can’t get that time back when they are young.
"Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Going anywhere"
Move!!! You can still FaceTime, etc. Make you happy! Imagine the world you can expose to them!
I always came back. I think this time I’ve fell in love. North west Arkansas is the best.
As long as it’s not Nashville. Move. 😁
What's the problem with Nashville? Just asking.
Go, or stay. But Toledo is not exactly Mayberry! It has some size to it!
This guy sounds like a sweetheart, but no. You will never regret leaving your hometown.
Always choose Guilt over Resentment....Wow! That's Deeeep..........
Always
This call was kind of strange. He was talking about them as if they were his own kids. Live your life. It would be good for those kids to get to know other caretakers that don't include their uncle.
My greatest regret in life was moving away from my family.
i didn’t even start the video and my answer is NO you will not regret it. leaving my home time literally saved my life
My move saved me as well, but my closest friend is still back home and living her best life. It is important for us to realize what WE need and not operate from a place of obligation to others.
Next thing you know you're hanging out on 6th St. every night and hoping your name gets pulled out of the bucket on Mondays.
When they get older, they will move on. Live your life
Worst case is you move back
MOVE,,,,,MOOOOOVE❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE MY unkle but won't want him to stop his life for me ,,,,😅😅😅😅😅😅 do your life Now❤❤❤❤❤❤
No, I regretted it.
Realtors in Austin are like starving actors in Hollywood. Dude is going to be eaten alive.
Texas is now closed to newcomers. Our borders are closed. Texas is not accepting new residents at this time.
LOL, all lies!
Texas and Florida are where NYers and Cali new comers target.
Tatoo ink ends up in lymph nodes
I wasn't pleased he went there.
Really? That’s what you got from this video? I’m sorry you didn’t move away when you were younger and missed opportunities. He has a lot of tattoos, so do other people. Who cares
@@Nickgantz12 Tats = Ignorant trash person. Nice of them to let us know in advance, before interacting with them.
@@jasonrodgers9063Well since you want to be an ignorant trash person and assume let me just go ahead and tell you having met Dr. John at an event I can tell you he is the kindest, most caring, down to earth guy you will ever meet. Dr. John is the BEST!!!! ❤
False. Not with modern ink from a reputable tattooist they don't.
Creepy uncle. Sorry.
John should have stuck with the 24 move-back date. I figure he knows this guy is wAaaaaaay too beta to last more than a month.
Move!!! You can still FaceTime, etc. Make you happy! Imagine the world you can expose to them!
