So I'm an Asian male from Memphis, TN, and it's been a bumpy road looking for happiness. I've often felt like an outcast in this city...like I don't really belong. Memphis, is about 50/50 Black and White...other minorities are scarce. In addition, it's a very conservative place (in the suburbs) and a more liberal place (in the city)..which means race relations suck and people of differing race and political views mostly live in separate spheres of the city. It seems like most people (despite the fact that I was born here) think I'm a foreigner. Well, I went to college around Philadelphia, thinking I would be happy there. Wrong. My college years were really tumultuous and painful. The diversity part was fine (and a nice change), but I still found myself unhappy for a number of reasons. Now I'm moving out to LA for a job...and I just want to be happy. I feel like I keep moving places, thinking things will be different. How can I be happy? I don't want to be disappointed again.
