I guess what I'm saying is that while you can't run from problems that stem from within, there is a LOT to be said for a change of scenery, a fresh start, and creating a new chapter of your life. Life is too short to stay somewhere you're not happy because you feel it incumbent upon you to learn to like everything, as if being unhappy somewhere is a personality flaw that one must learn to overcome. Sometimes, we just need the change of scenery. Sometimes more than once -- I wasn't happy with the first big move I made (just didn't really fit in in San Francisco), but I tried again a year later and hit the jackpot. I think it's something everyone should do once in their life, for personal growth purposes.
