You've taken hit after hit, and it sounds as though you're ready to move out and move on. Maybe Boston will be better to you later on, but it sounds like you need something that's not nearly as likely to chew you up and spit you out. I think you’re probably right.

It may very well be time to move on, because that is the mentality you have towards the city, and no one wants that.

I lived there pretty much all my life, but once I moved out to Chicago, so much changed for the better. I was surrounded by new people, new faces, new streets that made me feel like a new person. I hold nothing against Detroit but now that I've been in Chicago for nearly 3 years, there really just isn't much there for me anymore. I felt similarly about Detroit.

Phoenix. Okay so I made that up, but you should totally move here. Yeah its brown and hot, but after one summer you become a bad ass and can say things like "A hundred and five? Puh-leez! That's hoodie weather." Here are the pro's - you'll never have a bad hair day because of the rain, you can get rid of your heavy winter coats taking up much needed space in your closet, you can wear open toed shoes and tank tops year round (standard fashion rules do not apply here) and you have no choice but to become a little bilingual. Comprende? Although the cons are flatlining economy, spending a fortune on moisturizer and that little inconvenience called skin cancer, yadda yadda yadda. But you are Barbie, bitch! You're not afraid of anything! So come on down! I'll totally save you a spot on the freeway. :) You know what city is the new “In” city to live in? Phoenix.

You can just pick up and start over somewhere new without too much hassle. If you're feeling like Boston may not be for you anymore.. I say go for it.
