I moved from Southern California to Northern California ... General speaking quality of life improved, but it served no escape from my internal emotional problems, but that's bc I let it... I think as long as u move bc u want to start fresh and make an effort to put yourself first then of course improvement can follow. but if u move bc u want to escape, no change will follow, it's what I've learned in the last 7 years... I'm about to come to a crossroad much like u... move or not move... but my mentality will now be , what is best for me and this time I will make decisions that benefit me and my happiness.
