Lately, I’ve been contemplating a move to Houston, TX, or possibly back to Atlanta, GA. The possibility has me reflecting on how moving can be a profound act of self-love. It’s more than just changing addresses; it’s about consciously prioritizing your well-being over comfort or the expectations of others. 

Moving is about creating a space that mirrors who you are inside. It’s an opportunity to design an environment where you can think deeply, reflect, and grow. For me, as a Virgo, this introspective pull makes the idea of moving feel like more than just a relocation— it’s a chance to honor my personal needs and growth. It’s about finding solitude when necessary, crafting a space that feels like home for your soul, and embracing the quiet that fuels introspection.

There’s an intimacy in recognizing that no one knows what you need better than you do. While I technically have family and friends who would offer instant help if requested, moving can still mean shedding external expectations and embracing what truly brings me peace— like being alone, not lonely, and thriving on my terms in a space that reflects who I am. 

This kind of change also requires vulnerability. You have to face your desires, fears, and insecurities head-on. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to choose better for yourself, even if it means leaving behind what’s familiar.

I have always thrived in small, intimate settings, but there is also something special about embracing the solitude inherent in making a bold step for yourself. In the end, moving can be a powerful way of showing yourself love, and honoring who you are and what you need, even if it means making a change.
