I'm working on finding a way to make my mental paradigm and my physical reality work well together. Maybe I am the weird one and I'm pretty sure I can accept that. It's just taking time.

Paradigm
I don't think I'm used to being in a small town yet. I feel like I'm mentally in one paradigm and physically in another. I expect others in my situation to have the same needs, see the same vacancies, aim for the same goals, but that has not always been the case.

It's ironic that you are experiencing these displacement and adjustment feelings in very different circumstances than Amber and yet there seems to be strands of both of your experiences that have some similarity. As your mother, I feel drawn in with desires to fill in the spaces but at the same time knowing you will find the resources you need in other places. I don't think you are weird but unique and living in a distinctive time and place.
Not weird. Ever heard of small town mentality? There's a reason the phrase came into being.
I feel like this is something that I pass through each time we have a baby, move, the kids reach milestones etc. I'm always readjusting who I am and what I think about what I'm doing as a mother. It doesn't matter where we live; big town or small, near or far from family, with close friends or not. I'm constantly struggling to make my mental, physical and spiritual all combine forces for good in my life:)
