how many people move and don't know why?
i don't mean move almost imperceptibly, as in shifting from one foot to the other, i mean move as in, pack up all your stuff, leave town, and go live in another town. how many people do that and when you ask them why they did that they say, i dunno.
i don't mean they say "i dunno" to be funny, as in, beats me if i know why i moved to this flea-bag town. i mean "i dunno" as in I. DO. NOT. KNOW. WHY. I. MOVED.
life's hard, i'll give you that, but one simple thing that can make it easier is to only move if you know why. i'm just sayin.
i know a person who moved from cleveland to columbus. if you ask her why she did that she'll answer like this:
"i was making the highest salary of my life. i was getting ready to move into a beautiful new home. and then my dad called and told me to get down here right this minute, so i did. and now i'm here. and i hate it."
"why did your dad tell you to get down here right this minute?"
"i dunno."
"you dunno?"
"i dunno."
ummmmmm.........................
so then she'll tell ya, she'll say, "my dad's brother is dying of cancer. any day now."
"is that why your dad asked you to move down here?"
"i dunno. maybe. i guess that makes as much sense as anything."
ummmmmm.........actually? no. it doesn't make as much sense as anything. it doesn't make any sense at all.
and then she'll say, "maybe i need a therapist."
and then your brain goes, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! finally! something that makes as much sense as anything."
