I’m Afraid to Move

I am afraid to move. If I sold my house and moved into my parents’ old house, all my problems (like <a href="https://medium.com/@adelinedimond/why-am-i-in-so-much-credit-card-debt-f7b6c6e54145" rel="noopener">this one</a> and <a href="https://medium.com/@adelinedimond/everything-they-dont-tell-you-about-taking-care-of-aging-parents-de64e5bb47a7" rel="noopener">this one</a>) would be solved. But I can’t do it. I’m too scared. The Internet tells me there is a name for this: topophobia, which sounds so cute. “Topo” is Greek for place, although it sounds like a pogo stick or an ice cream topping. The Internet helpfully explains that people with topophobia miss out on a lot of things, like better jobs or relationships or the whole wide world, and no shit. Despite my fear of moving, I constantly fantasize about moving. <a href="https://humanparts.medium.com/im-afraid-to-move-1c90fcb93e81">Website</a>
