I Feel Stuck

We might be moving to a new city due to my partner's recent job offer. I'm really bummed by this. I've got all of my friends here, my community, everything I've grown familiar with. There's enough chaos in this world, and I was hoping for a little calmness before completely upending my life. Maybe I'll end up staying here while he goes. I'm a bit dependent on him for income at the moment, though. I was hoping to pursue a new degree for a few years at the local university, but everything has changed. In fact, his only job offer is likely due to the virus causing someone at the other place nearby to decide not to move. He was going to be offered a position at a place very close to our home, and we wouldn't have needed to move.

I know sometimes it only feels like things are falling apart because change is so difficult. I know in my gut, however, that moving to this other city is not what I want. I love my city. It's infused with a lovely mixture of nature and urbanisation. You can't find that anywhere, and you certainly can't find it where his new job is located. I'm thinking I'll apply to many remote jobs in the next few weeks to see if I can get a job and end up staying at this house, but it is expensive to live here on a single income. We both were earning for a while, but I've lost my income. This virus is such a pain. Feeling a bit doomed, tbh.
