What town or city were you "stuck in" before you decided to take a leap of faith and leave?

I was the type of kid growing that never wanted to leave his town. I was always telling my mom we can’t move because I didn’t want to lose out on the friendships I developed. Of course as you know, those friends eventually moved away.

I thought I’d love to live in San Diego all my life. It seems every new adult I actually have connections with in the real world via, work, school turns out these people are mostly people from other towns that moved here. Nothing wrong about it but you know, they come here for the “California Dreamin” and I think I’ve out grown that in the 8th grade summer post beach days.

So did you ever get sick of where you were? When did you know it was time to seriously consider moving? How did you make the move?
