Yep, this happens to me all the time we move. It’s parts of grieving but you also need to follow that voice that for so many times said you needed to move. And as I always say, Chicago is not going anywhere you can always move back. You’ll have fun in California, and the weather won’t be that harsh!
From someone who has moved many times, this is so true. You have written so perfectly that feeling of leaving a place you love (even when all the wrong things seem right ) because you have come to call it home. But as I always say... everything you do is practice for the next thing. So off you go. Until the next thing :).
mixed! The reasons we decided to move have all borne out (we needed to be close to my parents, and we are, and it’s wonderful) and the things we knew we’d miss terribly…we still do. I think it’s just part of the modern human condition. There’s no way to be fully happy in any one place if your people are spread all over.

You’re so wise!

I felt *exactly* the same way when we left Astoria late last year. Even when you know you're making the right choice...doesn't make it sting any less.
how do you feel now!?

Excited to keep up with this adventure!
Don’t go 🙃
I left Chicago 30 years ago and no one gave me popcorn or a PBR. Best wishes to you. . .
