Considering moving....

 My mom happened to be near Arkadelphia today and took me to get some food; we ate together and talked about family and all that. After hanging out with her for a bit and her leaving, it's really had me thinking about moving again. 
I moved from my hometown, Hamburg AR, in early 2022 to live with my grandma and uncle in Tennessee, and while I was living with them, we all moved in with my dad in 2023 to Arkadelphia AR. I've been living here for quite a bit, and Arkadelphia is really a nice place; lots of places to shop, to eat, go, etc. Meanwhile, Hamburg hardly has any of that. Hamburg probably has four grocery stores, two gas stations, and the only fast-food place is Sonic. Hamburg also has way fewer job opportunities than Arkadelphia; the most I'd probably find to work in Hamburg would be a job at the Dollar Store or something. 
 So, when you read this, it's probably easy to think: "Well, clearly Arkadelphia is better. Stay there!" Yeah, it very much is. I think the only appeal that moving to Hamburg has been being with my mom's side of the family again - the family that I grew up with. When I was being told about my family up there, it just made me miss them all, honestly. Obviously, I can just visit when I want, but I don't know. I've just been thinking really hard about it.
 If I really were to move up there, I'd have to stay with my grandma in her apartment, which is no issue; she has one bedroom that she never uses, and I could easily stay there. The only real issue is my pets. I have three cats, and she has to pay for animals or risk being evicted. But, according to my mom, that won't be an issue - since they only really check once a year. 
 I've definitely been considering it. Packing and moving all of my stuff would definitely be a hassle, but it wouldn't be impossible. If I REALLY do try moving there, I would have to wait for some time. My mother and brother are currently staying with my grandma, and they plan on moving in with my grandpa, so I'd be able to go to my grandma's - so that's nice.

 In general, it's really a big decision to think about. I really do like living in Arkadelphia with my dad, but I've just been really missing the other side of my family lately and being close to them, being able to constantly see them. I'm still going to be thinking about it for a while; I'm just not too sure about everything yet. 
 I'll probably be talking to my grandma and other family before actually considering telling my dad and stuff, since I haven't really made a full decision yet. My dad believes moving to Hamburg is silly due to how the town is in general (generally full of druggies, in all honesty.) and because of how little job opportunities there are there. It's very valid to think that there wouldn't be a real "bright future" for me there. So, yeah. I guess that's it. 
No reason for this post, I just felt like sharing my thoughts today.
