QotD: (Not) Far From Home

How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did? 
Submitted by Matthew 25.

I moved about 50 miles away from my home almost 5 years ago… down into Orange County. I moved for law school.

A part of me was very glad that I moved. I have a place all to myself. I have an independence very different from what I experienced while I was dorming in college. But a part of me, and this part grows bigger with every passing day, really misses LA and really dislikes (almost hates) the sterility of Orange County. Yes, everything is clean and new, but to me, this just makes the county all the more sterile. I also hate that there really isn’t a lot of diversity… activities, restaurants, people. They’re all pretty much from and catered to the same economic level, which really irritates me.

Sorry OC lovers =) But I will always be a Los Angelino at heart!

I’m counting the days when I’ll be able to sell my place and get one in LA =)
