Live close to family or far and free?

Getting older changes your answer on this one. Used to want freedom, now I'm grateful they're only 30 mins away.

Family drama makes the choice easier—far and free all day. Some people are meant to be loved from a distance.

The grass isn't always greener tbh. Close enough to visit but far enough to breathe—that's the sweet spot nobody talks about.

Far and free hits different when you're in your 20s. Best decision I ever made.

Tried the far and free thing for 5 years. Realized I missed too much. Moving back this summer.
