Homesick for California?
March 16, 2010
Are you missing California? Are you totally homesick for the Golden State? Yeah, you. Well?
During the past couple of years, many Californians became ex-Californians. Are you one? Did you give up and make your "escape" from California? Are the reasons you left not as important now as they were back then?
Are you thinking twice about that decision? Are you, perhaps, regretting your relocation as a bad move? Was leaving California a kneejerk reaction that you're kicking yourself for now?
Many of you left California for other reasons, I know. You might have been transferred somewhere else due to a job. Some of you had to attend to pressing family matters. You might be one of the thousands of Californians stationed abroad in the armed services.
My personal friends who made "the big decision" are calling and emailing me now to ask if things are really looking better these days back home in California. Apparently, their new lives are not what they had bargained for.
I have made many new acquaintances on the internet who regularly visit Californiality. These former Californians tell me that this blog makes them feel at home and, yes, quite homesick for the Golden State.
I have previously addressed this issue, based on my own experiences, in the post, "Ex-Californian Hell". During a couple of California's past down-cycles, I had made the same decision to split. I happily returned with a changed perception of what life's really about.
I prefer to live in the best location in the best society in the best state in the best nation in the world. Nothing less. Whatever it takes. Period.
I can hear some of you starting to cry right now. It's okay. Let it all out.
You might as well go and get that box of Kleenex now, 'cause the following video will have you bawling your eyes out --- especially if you're dying to come home. It's a real boo-hoo fest in Tearjerk City.
I've been where you are. I know what you're going through. I know the pain, guilt, regret and heartache. You feel like you went from the frying pan into the fire, and you did not see it coming. You really, really tried. You honestly did.
Come back, my friend. Come back to folks who know the real you. Come back to freedom and acceptance. Come back to your life. Come back to your dreams. Come back home to...
