Time of my Life

What's the antonym of Homesick? Habitational Boredom?

I will hold this giant rectangle I grew up in close to my heart but it's growing tiresome. I've never been bothered by a winter as much as this last one and I've got a feeling the next one is going to be worse. I find myself checking the daily weather in L.A. and dreaming of the week Nicole and I spent there last summer. Yeah, I know, L.A. has its criticisms but we don't want to go there to become struggling actors. L.A. is epicenter of more than earthquakes, it's a place with eccentricities that allow unusual forms of the built environment to develop. It's the oldest example of the polycentric city and the birth place of so many different kinds of innovation, not only in my field, but in almost all others.

Moving to Los Angeles will not only provide Nicole and I with a new place to live and possibly the experience of a lifetime, it will help me in my career.

Up until now everything in my life has been so safe and frankly I'm tired of it. I'm willing to take a chance and risk some security even if that means scraping together a living. I've got the rest of my life to build a web of security and plan my retirement.
