I've been going to a simliar phase as you and the author in the last year (mentally I labeled it as "the loneliest year in my life (so far)"). My solution, as yours and the author's, is also to go back where my home and my friends are (this is still a month from now though). I pretty much had the same problems too: meeting new people, having new colleagues and also do stuff with them, but never feeling quite connected. So I've been wondering lately what this has to say about my personality. Am I just not ready yet to just leave what I call home now (and my friends and family) and start somewhere else again (maybe for a really worthwhile job in a cool city)? Or am I just the kind of person that is not cut out for doing this kind of stuff? This uncertainty is also amplified by the fact that I have a friend who is about the same age as me, mid-twenties, who just last year left to live in L.A. and seems quite happy there. Maybe you'd like to elaborate on how your life changed after you decided to go back and if you think you will ever try to live somewhere else (wherever that may be) again? I'd really appreciate it!
