@Ryan It's where we live. We see and feel it everyday. So you're right, it is pretty important to find fulfillment from your home. There are of course, external factors that can influence a move but in general, it's such a good feeling to be somewhere that benefits you.

It's interesting you bring up a love/hate. Sometimes I am frustrated with Boulder – just like any relationship, it's not perfect and there are pain points…

I don't really have anything to add to this discussion, I just want to say that this is extremely awesome. Your current lifestyle is pretty baller.

Colorado also sounds fantastic, I'll have to go there sometime.

I believe that picking a place that vibes with you should be one of your top priorities. It’s about designing your lifestyle.

Here here. Where you live can have a huge impact on how you feel on a daily basis.

I'd say I have a love/hate relationship with Buffalo. I truly love my city and want to be one of those people who stay around long enough to make a difference and not get lost in the 'brain drain' of 20-somethings who leave and never come back.

At the same time, I constantly feel the brain drain myself as friends and family lose their jobs and have nothing to fall back on. It's tiring trying to create in a place where creativity seems lost, but in the end, it's what you make of it.

@Sam Thank you! I know so many of my friends are now escaping NYC But either for business or pleasure, it's the center of the universe, so I'll be there soon enough!

As I've told you before, I totally admire everything about your move to Boulder and the life you've built there. It sounds like you had an amazing time with your cousin, which is so great to hear. My cousin is like my brother, and I love spending time with him. I do think that you should come visit NYC before your cousin leaves, but that's just because I really want to meet you
