[quote=Anonymous]It is a little of both. Yes, you are still you (& DH & kids are still who they are) in a new place. But, you are not around others who maybe kept you in stasis - “Larla is the ‘smart’ one” (or dumb, or pretty, or timid - you get it). “Oh, Larla isn’t good at sports, she wouldn’t want to run the 5k” “let’s go to your favorite restaurant every year for your bday” etc. Doing new things - like moving to a new place, trying new hobbies, even finding new restaurants & things you like - can change the neural pathways. You can become a different person, by being in a different place & doing different things. Will that person be happier? I think so, but it’s back to the first part - wherever you go, there you are. See the Adam Sandler skit about the travel agent on SNL “If you were sad at home, you’re still going to be you, sad, in Italy”[/quote]
