I felt/feel the same about Los Angeles. My first trip there was the month I turned 29. I wanted to move there. I still do at 50. I love the energy. I did, however, move to Atlanta in 2020, right after the stay-at-home order was lifted in Virginia. Hated it. And it could've been a combo of the area and the timing. I don't want to be unfair so I may return for a visit in the near future. I agree that we should be exposed to different cities, countries, cultures. Something changes within me each time I'm planted inside a new environment outside of my own, whether that's a new dwelling or a new town. Admittedly, I haven't traveled outside of the states, yet, with the exception of Tijuana during that same initial Los Angeles trip. I'm currently in rural Virginia and I know this isn't where I belong. I came back once I left Atlanta. But nothing clicks or sticks and I'm not evolving. I very well think I've entered a season to leap somewhere so that I can grow again. I'm loving these new posts!
