Perhaps you are one of those people joyously living out your life

in the town where you were born, schooled, and are now repeating the pattern with your own family. If so, congratulations.  Because I believe it takes a person truly comfortable with him or herself to be able to lay down roots and not be overwhelmed with a persistent urge to rip them out.  I was never that person.  In fact, I’m sitting in my lovely mid-century modern home in the incomparable Hollywood Hills right now thinking, “I’m so over L.A.”
