Ok, this might sound pretty lame. I just want to see what everyone's opinions are. (btw I am 24)
I was born and raised on the Jersey shore (45 min to NYC), and a month ago I moved to Boston. I had gone to DC for college and was fine.
But, ever since moving to Boston, I am just feeling that I made a huge mistake. First of all, I didn't have a job lined up (stupid), so I am having trouble finding an actual career. Aside from money matters, I find myself not really wanting to start a new life here. I feel as if coming here made me realize how important everyone back home is. I was in a lull, and unemployed for months when I was at home, and I thought moving away would be an "escape" for me. I thought wrong. I don't think I like living in a city, and it is so expensive. And, there are not as many job opportunities as I had thought.
Am I wrong to just move back home at this point? I feel like a quitter, but I am really NOT happy..in more ways than one.

i'm thinking about looking for jobs in NYC and commuting from Jersey.(maybe grad school, too)
therefore, if i do "quit" it here, i will be further motivated to find a job closer to the people i care about and trust...and in NYC which has more opportunities than Boston...

if you know you want to be back in your home town then dont consider yourself a quitter! you were brave and tried something new. theres no crime in that. you dont HAVE to stay in each place you move to. people move back to their home towns all the time. if its what you want to do, do it. i have a friend right now who is regretting a move from NYS to AZ. so she tried it. i give her credit for that and she has some experience in a new place. so u like it better in your home town? thats fine! i moved 1/2 hr from people i know (not very far) and i like it here but its hard w/jobs and all for us to get together. and thats just 1/2 hr away! so i say do what your heart tells you to do. you will be happiest that way. best to you

Its only been a month!!! Of course you are lonely. You need to try longer before you move back. Its easy to stay put with your old friends but this way you will always have your old friends AND new ones too. You will see. Everyone loves Boston and once you get a job and meet more people in it, you will be too busy to think. I say give more time!!Best wishes

if you haven't been in the boston area very long, give it a little more time. this could be a bit of homesickness or culture shock and it should dissapate as you become more accustom to your new surroundings. if in 6 mos to a year,if you still aren't comfortable then make your next move. try to look at this as an adventure. you may never get another chance.

Ive been to the Jersey shores-and grew up in Boston-the cultures are different and the pronounciations Park the Car in the Harvard Yard.
Life has twists and turns-in life there is no wrong choices-if living there made you appreciate what you had in Jersey-and to see the bigger picture its all for the best.
since it doesnt seem to be over a guy-your not living with a broken heart-so that is one biggie good for you.
this is what helped see me through=I have had the best of everything in life (I thought) till I came to Jesus and learned the joy of life, in salvation and renewal, praying for you, -and I am just a messenger in Jesus amazing grace (John 3rd chapter) repented of my sins, even one lie and let Jesus in to help and be my friend-and if you wont listen to Jesus-please understand there is nothing I can do to help thee princess. it sure worked for me, =Jesus is the one to comfort you and to give you help to commit in a relationship, in Jesus amazing grace, John 3rd chapter repented of my sins,even one lie, and let Jesus in to be my friend, amen.
I am praying for you be it in Boston and or back to Jersey Shores-let me know if I could be of help-have been prayin about visiting both places- I like Asbury Park and stay in Ocean Grove and in Boston lived by and still enjoy the Quincy Market, David

First priority is to find a job, wherever. Moving was a good idea. You may have to move again but a job is essential. Find a job ,home , wherever and search for happinees.

there is nothing wrong for you to move back to your own town. why are you so worried about it?
is good that we move out far away from a place that we don't like, always remember, get a job first before you move to a new place.
