A major change

I must describe an important change in my life; regardless of the fact that in your lifetime every person is always changing, it’s true that you can find different moments in your life that mean a big leap. For instance I could write about my ‘exodus’ from the village to a big city where I started a new life when I was roughly 20 years old -although at the beginning I felt uneasy I knew that that change was for the better. But let’s stop this subject . I’m going to describe my last important change: my return after seventeen years.
It’s said that when you are getting on for 40 your life is already mapped out, therefore if I had been asked three years before, I could agree with that. If I look back, at that moment I had my own home - with my twenty years mortgage- in a warm and colourful town, my lovely boyfriend, my important and interesting job, my pleasant and helpful friends, and so on. My life seemed to be perfect; I used to go to every cultural event in the city for free, I travelled to different countries, I don’t know if I was truly happy but I used to feel at ease. But everything began to fade overnight.
My company had financial problems and my job was in danger, my friends had their own lives and, moreover, I had some problems with some of them, my boyfriend and I split up, it was a bad situation and I couldn’t cope with all. Suddenly I realised that my family meant a lot to me. I was in two minds.
Taking everything into account, during the next two years I prepared my mind to come back home although mMy life were nice again, I had new friends, may job was better,. But now I’m living here, I have a new boyfriend, an interesting new job, a cosy rented house and, at the moment, I’m feeling happy. On balance, this change has also been for the better.
