I enjoy being part of the scientific community here too.
I also found that coming back to LA was good for my mental health in many ways. I love the mountains and the snow, and you know I lived in cold climates. I feel a little bit more like I am a nomad, and just LA is kind of my home base.

It is interesting how we all have different experiences in the same locations. Both the music community & the horse environment I found to be very clicking in Calif. They tolerated but didn't truly welcome. I did lots of dog showing there too & while they kinda welcomed new people, they were very clicking too. I never felt like I fit in anywhere even though I was competent.
It is a good thing this country is big with diverse offerings for everyone's own taste & personalities & we are not trapped being stuck where we don't feel comfortable
