EP, so glad to hear you’re doing well. Although there do seem to be more and more people who can’t make it CA, we know a number of people, like you, who have chosen to leave CA, and not because they couldn’t make it here.
Many feel they have maxed out their California experience over a period of many years, and just want a change, or have other reasons. Most are in a position where they can come back anytime, so leaving temporarily, or otherwise, is not really an issue.
Personally, we love everything about our lives in CA, and, after seeing what most of the world has to offer, really don’t feel the need to make a change, but still respect the need or desire others may have to do so.
