[quote=Anonymous]I have lived in five different states (well okay, one was DC so not technically), three of them two different times, and have changed jobs every 2-3 years over the last 23 years. I’ve also lived in multiple towns/cities and apartments/houses in each of those states (except 3 years in the same DC row house during law school) so the longest part of my credit report is the many dozens of address listings.

I would blame my parents for relocating me across country in early childhood, except that I do have a distinct recollection of having an aspiration in even earlier childhood that I would someday live in every single state. Eventually it dawned on me that the logistics of that were unworkable, but I made up for it by doing cross country road trips east to west and back again by different routes almost a dozen times, and a few times north to south as well. The only states I’ve not yet been to are Alaska, Hawaii and Florida.

I’ve been single most of my life and chose to share my life with dogs, who travel and relocate fairly well. If I’d had kids I wouldn’t have lived the same life because I was definitely really negatively impacted by being moved away from all my family and friends when I was only 8 years old.

I am a Sagittarius. Typically I don’t put much stock in astrological stuff at all, but I have consistently seen Sagittarians described as people who crave novelty - new challenges, new places, new adventures. I would say there is a lot of that in me - however I have also always envied my friends who put roots down and grew them deeply. What can I say; I am vast and contain multitudes.

My various professional positions were definitely a progression over time to better opportunities, higher salaries, more responsibility- so I don’t think it is a mark against me overall, but I’m sure some people will judge.
