It can be hard after years of living in familiar surroundings to leave an area and go somewhere new.
There is a lot to be said for growing up in a "neighborhood" especially if you were lucky enough to have neighbors turn into lifelong friends.
After living in an area for a few years it's always nice when people get to know one another and look out for each other.
They almost become like family in some cases if you find yourself in an entirely new place.
Holidays and birthday become shared events with new friends just like family.
It can be a comforting feeling to quickly make new friends after living somewhere for a short period of time.
Sometimes individuals aren't that lucky and loneliness can set in.
which can make the entire experience a very sad one.
When moving to a new area it is nice to meet you new neighbors and try to be outgoing and friendly even if that is not your ordinary personality.
These new acquaintances can turn into lifelong friends if you are lucky.
Join your child's PTA if you have children.
Volunteer in your community or even at the local animal shelter.
The workplace goes without saying to reach out to new people.
If you live in an area with a welcoming committee or HOA joining is not only fun and a good avenue to meet new friends but also looks wonderful on your resume.
Just get involved in any thing you can.
Most towns these days have websites listing the town that you reside in along with putting the word life to follow.
On those websites you will see an abundance of information regarding schools, general questions and forums about the area.
It is a nice way to find out what is going on around you and I tend to use it myself quite often.
When moving to a new place it is just important to enjoy the experience because it can be a very good one to not only get to know new people but to explore new areas or regions if that is the case.
I have been lucky enough to live in a few different places in my life so far and welcome the experience to enjoy new places and meet new people.
Some of my experiences have not been entirely welcoming but the ones that have more then make up for it.
