I live in Sydney, Australia. I've had this feeling for as far back as I can remember that I wasn't living where I should have lived. When I was 4 my parent's moved from Melbourne to Sydney, so for a long time I thought it was just because I wanted to be back there (even though I couldn't remember anything about the place).
But as I got older I started to notice how different I was from everybody else around here. I was really creative, and in High School I felt like my abilities were never able to reach their potential. The school wasn't awful, but it didn't have a lot of resources, and a few not so amazing teachers. But it wasn't just those things, it was the whole vibe of the place. None of the other kids were interested in Arts or Music, or culture at all really.
I had friends and was never picked on, but I still felt outcasted because I didn't want the same things all of the other kids in the school wanted.
Now, I'm in my second year of University. I'm studying literature and creative writing which is absolutely what I want to be doing. And yet... I still get this feeling. I want to travel, move overseas, explore the world and find the place that 'speaks' to me. Is that normal, though? Is it normal to feel like you've just been living in a place you weren't meant to spend the rest of your life in?
I feel like I already know the answer to my questions and that I'm just terrified to go so far away all by myself. I keep thinking about it more and more though, and every day I get more excited, and the plans become ever more possible.
I'm going to try and apply to do an exchange program through my University to study in Canada for half a year. I'm really excited, but still terrified at being alone. I'm even more terrified that I may not be accepted.
I guess what I want to ask is if anyone else has ever wanted, more than anything, to move away. Just because you feel like you're not where you're meant to be. And maybe if it's crazy to pack up all of my things after I finish my degree and move to another country for a year or so? (link)

Just Go. Your never going to know if its what you truly want unless you DO it.
Finish your degree, apply for the exchange program. Even if you dont get accepted, look for something else to do! Dont give up on something that is so obviously calling you.

Thank you! "Just Go" is probably the best answer I could ever need, so thank you so, so much.
