Coast-less Phobia?

About to move to Chicago and I'm having an incredibly irrational fear. I'm nervous about not living on a coast. My whole life, I've lived by the East Coast. In college I lived on the Gulf Coast. In Japan, I lived on the Sea of Japan's Coast. And in Chicago, I will have the Great Lakes. Will they suffice?? I fully recognize that once I'm there, on the ground, and not envisioning my location via the map in my head, I'll be right as rain. Why am I so bothered by this? I feel that it might have something to do with the US/Global maps shown to us since childhood. The US is situated on the left side and the East Coast is approaching the "Middle of the Planet". I hope this isn't an issue of egocentrism. In Japan, I was able to adjust. But then again, I was on a coast and not in the middle of a landmass. Perhaps I placed the "Middle of the Planet" off the beach of Yonago, between Korea and Japan. I know it's perfectly normal for one to mentally reach a perspective of where one's person is, but this is a little ridiculous that I'm feeling this way. I'm off to lunch. Maybe that's where the center of the world will be for the next hour....
