This was such good advice! I love Chicago so I don’t blame you for wanting to go back. Ive lived in Atlanta for 16 years, but have moved back home once and moved to Houston but Ive always come back!! You gotta try things out to figure out where you belong!!

Based on what you've said in the video, you don't like Atlanta because of the dating scene. You can have a great social life here in Atlanta if you don't put looking for love first.
@itslaurenmonique6 күн бұрын
I agree. I actually gave up dating after my first year in Georgia, but I have neglected my social life here so that could be a huge reason I don’t like it here

It’s typical for any city, but vibes are something you gotta go experience yourself, otherwise it sounds petty most of the time.. I’ve heard countless ppl say they want to leave Chicago, but she’s saying she wants to go back.. Every city has the same thing to me, but vibe is personal.. I don’t like Atlanta btw 😂😂.. I lived in Honolulu and it’s boring after awhile 😂😂..

Atlanta is a transition city. No one is from there. Most people are only there three years and stepping stone a job somewhere else. ATL and Chi are shitholes. Large Cities in general are just not worth the headache. I’m much happier in my slow life in the suburbs. There is nothing that would take me back to ATL

I came across your channel because I've been looking at moving to Atlanta. First off, I just want to say how much I appreciate how genuine and honest you are about life and your struggles. I know I'm just a random stranger, but just hearing someone else talk about a similar situation it makes me feel not alone. And neither are you! I moved away from home 5 years ago to Florida and while I love my apartment and where I live, I feel unmotivated and lost. Even something as basic as getting up and showering can be difficult. So I'm considering a change of scenery to shake things up a bit. All I can say is follow your gut! Not everyone has it together like we think they do. Don't beat yourself up. You've done something amazing moving to Atlanta, something people dream of but never do. This is how you learn and appreciate what you had before; you get to see things from a new perspective. And you would have never known if you didn't take this step. Sending you lots of love I know you'll make it out of this!
@itslaurenmoniqueАй бұрын
Aww I really appreciate you for watching 🥰 I definitely use this as like my little diary but also hope that my videos can find at least one person that can relate so they don’t feel alone. Feeling the exact way you are feeling right now and honestly change might be the best option. Sending you lots of positive energy and love that you can figure things out as well 🤍

That’s sad 😢 I was thinking about Atlanta it seems nice I’m from The DMV but I kinda want to leave here I don’t even know moving seems like such a hassle . DMV is good cause of jobs and metro it’s very good easy to get where you need to be . Hopefully things get better but I’m glad I seen this so I’m thinking ATL is a no now lol 😆
@itslaurenmoniqueАй бұрын
Omg no don’t let me discourage you. Atlanta is a great city, just not my vibe. I’m so used to the Midwest and that’s just where home is for me. My friend told me I should look into the DMV, but I don’t think I can do the east coast. I would recommend visiting Atlanta for a few days to see if you can see yourself there.
