was I happier living in London?

[@Soultending]

I hate that you have to be subjected to other people's thoughts about this, but I appreciate you sharing this. I moved back to Chicago, my hometown, after living in NYC, and I used to question whether I was happier there. It took some time for me to reconcile if I was actually happier there or if it was just a different season in my life, but this has helped me realize that it really was time to move on and make the changes required to get the other things I said I wanted. Thank you for sharing and I hope this era brings exactly what you need and desire!

Living in London is hard and can be extremely frustrating at times, I'm a Brit... I can't wait to leave. It was always my dream to live in the city... I made a huge mistake, to be honest. The housing and housing support is poor, the cost of living is high, and the vibe varies depending on the people and the area.

[@PaigeMariah]

I’m so sorry to hear this!! I hope you’ll be in a better situation soon ☹️

[@SharonMcMillan]

This is the time of your life to explore and grow and you are doing it!! I congratulate you Paige on stretching yourself personally and professionally. I started exploring London and Europe later in life (I’m of your mother’s generation) and I can say I LOVE London for it’s architecturall beauty, parks, history and people. But I’m at that point in my life and career to enjoy the best of London and I think that makes a world of difference. Enjoy your journey and keep sharing if you can - you inspire and lift your generation by doing so!

[@PaigeMariah]

I totally understand your POV! I also plan to start sharing more soon. Thank you ☺️

[@fdoctor79]

NGL, I MISS your London journey. Yet, I am so excited about this new chapter of your life. Tfs and keep thriving!

[@PaigeMariah]

Thank you so much 🫶🏼

[@rd5882]

I think what London did was start your path of living your happiness. Our lives are always evolving as we grow. London was your journey to find you and set you up with the courage to always live life true and to lead with your heart. I always remember you saying you were crying in your work bathroom as you felt frustrated and stagnant. Like you say in this video, your chapter in London was lived. That's the beauty of life. We get to live all these different stories. :) Thank you for delivering true content.

[@PaigeMariah]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment. Absolutely spot on! 🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@charlesblack1086]

Yay!! So happy you're happy. I agree with what you said. It took a car accident to give me the courage to leave my home in Kentucky to move to New York. I'm so glad I did. Now I'm considering Paris! Life is a journey!!!

Love this so much!!

[@missj.d9187]

It's funny I'm a Londoner and I've travelled and lived in many different countries but since returning to the UK I couldn't afford to move back where my family history goes back over 300 years. I live on the coast and I'm heartbroken I can't get back to London I honestly ache for the place like a long lost love. I would move back in a second but now life and children have happened and its totally unrealistic but it's honestly like a love I can't explain. My heart races when I go back for a visit. My advice is go wherever makes your heart beat like a true love. Also nobody owes anybody a reason on how they live their life as long as they aren't hurting anyone.

[@tanishiahicks]

Wow I never pay attention to the comments section but, I’m just excited for you it just seems like everything is coming full circle for you!! I think you said it best when you said that each part is a season and it’s so true the best is yet to come!!! Thank for sharing your journey with us 💕💕
