I was born in NJ, and lived there while I was young before moving to NY here where I've lived for most of my adult life. I can sympathize with you 100%. For the past year or so I've been constantly nagged with this painfully persistent notion that there is so much more in life and I'm not going to find it in the tri-state area. It's a deep feeling that's beginning to permeate every aspect of my existence and dominate every sector of my mind, and I feel it will do so until it will somehow materialize and tear me from this computer chair.
I have an impending surgical procedure, and once I've recovered from that and have found a steady, full-time, telecommute job, I will sell off all my shit and head West. It will pain me to leave my friends and family behind, but they'll only disappear from my daily life, and not my life in general, and the promise of undiscovered territory is one that is too powerful to ignore.
I hope you make the decision to follow through with your desires.
