See that graffiti? I told y'all LA is too wild for me. Can't wait to move to ATL 🍑 Do you want to move somewhere? Where to?

Girl pay for packers. Packing with a toddler is a nightmare for everyone, just pack what you need for a few days, make the trip, and hang with family or do a mini vacation or whatever while the packers pack and move all your stuff. It’s so worth the cost.

So expensive though!! 🥵

[@Martina_E]

@@SweetPotatoSoul You can get the reusable boxes companies too.

[@NancyCavillones]

100% agree with this for a cross-country move! I would get estimates and check reviews, though. Our movers sucked (they did such a bad packing job), so for this next move, I am packing myself and just getting the movers for actual transport.

[@KacangFamily]

@@NancyCavillones definitely check reviews!!! And see what the quote entails. We ended up waiting a month for our stuff and also it was dropped off 3 hours away from us and I had to drive 3 hours to release it with my 11 month old baby.

I also feel that way.

[@orangemoonglows2692]

i'm born and raised in la, but i've been to almost every major city in the country and i've lived on the east coast and the south. couldn't wait to get back to cali. i felt most at home here. i imagine if you're not from a place, you don't really feel it's your home.

You're inspiring me right now because you're so chill about this big move. I'm from the east coast (Maine) and moved to Oregon 4 months before Covid hit. Spent the last year in a new city and not being able to really explore or enjoy it, haven't made any new friends or been able to see coworkers, all the while missing home and family. So we're planning to move back to the east coast (were actually going to try someplace new and go to North Carolina, because my mom lives there so it will feel like a new adventure with a piece of home and family close by). And I am such a worry wart, we are planning to move in 3 months and I'm stressing about all the small things like getting rid of all of the stuff we've accumulated. I know you're probably feeling the weight of all that needs to be done, but it can be done! We will both get back to the east!! Covid was a crazy time to try and adjust to a place that just isn't home to us. And even with the stress of figuring out a cross-country move, it feels like a weight is lifted just by committing to the decision to make a change. 💚 good luck on the move and thanks for the good vibes your videos always bring! 🥰

Good luck on the move! I moved from the east coast to Texas and i was very stressed even though i planned a year in advance. My only advice is to take packing breaks and ask for help when you feel overwhelmed. It will all work out in the end just take it day by day ☺️

I'm from the Midwest, lived in San Diego for 11yrs, and still can't find 1 level headed friend. You will enjoy Cali, but feel dead out here. I feel so lonely here it's insane! And I'm such an intellectual and social butterfly, but out here ppl don't have legit conversations. It's so socially dead.

I think it truly depends on the people you're trying to surround yourself with. I have the greatest of friends, highly intellectual & wise. I'm sorry you feel so lonely :( Many of my friends have been made through hanging at local coffee shops & getting to know locals

[@fitnfab6522]

@@KaileeWalters I'm sure they are out here, but truthfully, the mindset is so different...and most are so sensitive. I'm very straightforward and strong in my opinions, and most are uncomfortable with this approach. It's like walking in cracked ice..I prefer to be myself and not try to fit in. I've been seeking for intellectual and wise people ...i did give up because it started to feel like a one way approach, but I will continue to search with a diff strategy...have any tips?

[@fitnfab6522]

@Papa F Jose Thanks for your insight, you explained what I am thinking, and verbally stating the truth. It's been like this since I've moved here, and I can never be wired in their ways which explains why I don't fit in, nor will I try to.

Wtf dude - we have the best conversations. Don’t blame the city - sounds like you’re surrounding yourself with the wrong people.

Blessings for you and your family as you move.

Best of luck to you and your family and your new beginning

Oooo i get it! We just moved to LA and I often wonder if I'll ever feel "connected" and make friends. Or if it will continue to feel like a long vacation... *just taking this video in*

Many blessings to you on your move back to the "A"- SHAWTY!

I enjoyed this video. I follow you on Instagram so I knew you were leaving L. A. for Atlanta. I loved your watching your NYC videos and while I liked the ones from L. A., it was definitely a different vibe (not in a bad way). I've had dreams of living in both cities and now I might just be happy living abroad again (leaving the U. S. for good). Anyway, I can't wait to watch your ATL videos. I think it would suck for me if I lived several years in a city but it seemed like one long "trip." Sometimes you just don't connect or vibe with the new place. I noticed the Berkey filter @ 8:39 and I was like "oh my gosh that's a Berkey lol." I just got one a little less than 2 months ago after wanting one for quite some time and I loved the filtered water I get from it and it's much better and more cost economical than my old Pur Water Filter pitcher. At 9:55, I saw that you have exact vacuum cleaner that I have as well lol.

Living in LA felt like one long (not vacation) but extended trip.
