It's just a fear of the unknown. Personally, I'd love to pick up and move to California. The only thing stopping me is one more year of high school. <BR/><BR/>California is beautiful. Good luck with your decision.thethinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246687154473607332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-66154838052772639002007-03-31T13:53:00.000-04:002007-03-31T13:53:00.000-04:00I'm all for picking up & moving to a new place.

It was an opportunity I couldn't refuse, and left Australia and moved overseas. <BR/><BR/>It's completely life-changing, a huge culture shock (even from east-to-west coast), but if you can do it, I encourage it.<BR/><BR/>I think the best experiences are always the ones learned outside of your comfort zone.Eileen Doverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792479203070844765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-69556047177280179212007-03-30T13:57:00.000-04:002007-03-30T13:57:00.000-04:00I moved out here to Vegas with no job!

The good thing was that I had a boyfriend and we moved together.<BR/><BR/>But, once we got here, I had to make all new friends and eventually we broke up and I had to find a place to live and I'm really happy.<BR/><BR/>Take the chance. California is beautiful and it's so fun to start fresh.CarmenSinCityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587202239830809100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-16556766430825740182007-03-30T13:32:00.000-04:002007-03-30T13:32:00.000-04:00I am planning a move to LA this summer.

My best friend lives out there, so she is apartment searching and I am applying to jobs.<BR/><BR/>I was really scared to move across the country at first. I'll be very far from my parents (whom I am very close to) but I know I will regret it if I don't do it now.<BR/><BR/>I don't feel like I fit in the east coast, and after living 23 years in the midwest, I'm not ready to move back there yet.<BR/><BR/>So I'm trying something different. It's scary, but sometimes you just have to jump in head first.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!DCchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767188601664847132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-15799453021389242102007-03-30T12:35:00.000-04:002007-03-30T12:35:00.000-04:00I decided to up and move from Seattle to Michigan ...I decided to up and move from Seattle to Michigan when my son was 3 months old.<BR/>I moved because his father was here and I wanted D to have a relationship with him.<BR/>It was very difficult for me to leave my entire support system and come to a state where I knew only one person. <BR/>There are times that I regret it. I no longer have many friends in Seattle and miss my family.<BR/>But the reason that I moved out here is still a valid one so I do my best to love my life and move on.<BR/>I have made some fantastic friends and have developed my own support system that isn't based on family but friendship.<BR/>I hate the winters and the conservatism here but for the most part it is OK and I am happy.<BR/>If California is where you want to be, go for it. Heck, with as much plastic surgery that goes on there you won't have any problem finding a good paying position.<BR/>My mom is an RN btw.

Sometimes the best things in life come when we are the most spontaneous.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I feel like certain cities speak to me in terms of moving or at least visiting. I know about this area too, it can get a bit overwhelming. I tend to want to go somewhere radically different every 1-3 months! Good luck on your quest.DCVitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078983104947437808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-52612374221279943932007-03-30T10:31:00.000-04:002007-03-30T10:31:00.000-04:00i think about it all the time...moving to a warmer...i think about it all the time...moving to a warmer climate, tropical maybe, completely appeals to me...and then i think about how much it would kill me to be far away from my daughters and i chicken out...<BR/><BR/>here's hoping you have more 'balls' than i do...lol...lisa q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16685625884419877570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-41011982715662525872007-03-30T10:26:00.000-04:002007-03-30T10:26:00.000-04:00dmarks - yes, the LA area!

Does not sound like a long-term prospect.<BR/><BR/>Just curious where in California you frequented and want to go to now? It's a diverse state. Since you said "electric", it's probably the LA area, right? I quite like the San Diego area.<BR/><BR/>Now, about serious life-altering decisions? I tend to want to get things all set and then have them stay that way.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-60631585687043105692007-03-30T09:41:00.000-04:002007-03-30T09:41:00.000-04:00Funny that you wrute about this today as I wrote a...Funny that you wrute about this today as I wrote about losing passion for somethig in life - yes - I have ben where you are now - it was regarding marriage and I am glad I took the leap - I am so happy and BTW I live in California!
