I see a lot of posts about people hating Los Angeles and needing to move away. I grew up in LA but lived in Seattle for 9 years and then NYC for 3, and it was my ex’s idea to move home. I wept when we moved back, missing NYC so much. When we broke up, I decided to stop fantasizing about NYC and figure out LA. I moved neighborhoods, made new friends, hobbies, routines — I had a do-over of my move to LA. And now it’s home. Maybe you just need to leave that chapter behind, not the city.
