now what?

I moved in on Saturday and Monday was my walk-thru w/ my old apt. So now I am an official resident of Pittsburgh. I love my apartment...it's spacious and clean with central air and I like being so close to downtown... with everything beginning to settle down, I ironically feel more unsettled than I have in a long time. I feel overwhelmingly lonely, with a lot of time on my hands. Up until the point of the move, I've been traveling back and forth between here and Indiana, and I've been packing my apt. Now that I'm here, I still have some unpacking to do, but it hardly keeps me busy. I'm thinking about going back to Indy in the beginning of August, and possibly staying until my trip to New Orleans. That'd put me away from my new apt for about 3 weeks. There are still things that I need to do here... like go back to school and finish the catalog, and write the abstract for the conference next spring. With these things weighing on my mind, I still find it hard to get anything accomplished. I have no motivation whatsoever. I feel completely stuck and isolated. There has to be something else. Something better. Something to make it all a little easier. I keep listening to "The World at Large" by Modest Mouse and the lyrics "I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast, it might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most" resonate in my head. It's not this city that makes me want to leave, its an unfound alienation. I don't feel like any place is my real home, and I wonder if eventually living in CA would actually become home to me. I think that I'm just in search of belonging.... I don't really feel wanted/needed/supported where I am now.
