    Based on what you've said in the video, you don't like Atlanta because of the dating scene. You can have a great social life here in Atlanta if you don't put looking for love first.

    • @itslaurenmonique
      @itslaurenmonique 9 днів тому

      I agree. I actually gave up dating after my first year in Georgia, but I have neglected my social life here so that could be a huge reason I don’t like it here

    Three and a half minutes into the video, the blogger does not state what she dislikes about Atlanta. "The vibes are not for me" is fine, but why is Atlanta not for her? I would like to hear her reasons from someone who has moved to this city. This is a silly vlog.

      It’s typical for any city, but vibes are something you gotta go experience yourself, otherwise it sounds petty most of the time.. I’ve heard countless ppl say they want to leave Chicago, but she’s saying she wants to go back.. Every city has the same thing to me, but vibe is personal.. I don’t like Atlanta btw 😂😂.. I lived in Honolulu and it’s boring after awhile 😂😂..

      @itslaurenmonique that makes sense. Atlanta is a whole different culture. Good to visit, but not to live if you prefer a bit of isolation.

    @ScottDreyfus Місяць тому

    Atlanta is a transition city. No one is from there. Most people are only there three years and stepping stone a job somewhere else. ATL and Chi are shitholes. Large Cities in general are just not worth the headache. I’m much happier in my slow life in the suburbs. There is nothing that would take me back to ATL

    @ftlmsem Місяць тому

    I came across your channel because I've been looking at moving to Atlanta. First off, I just want to say how much I appreciate how genuine and honest you are about life and your struggles. I know I'm just a random stranger, but just hearing someone else talk about a similar situation it makes me feel not alone. And neither are you! I moved away from home 5 years ago to Florida and while I love my apartment and where I live, I feel unmotivated and lost. Even something as basic as getting up and showering can be difficult. So I'm considering a change of scenery to shake things up a bit. All I can say is follow your gut! Not everyone has it together like we think they do. Don't beat yourself up. You've done something amazing moving to Atlanta, something people dream of but never do. This is how you learn and appreciate what you had before; you get to see things from a new perspective. And you would have never known if you didn't take this step. Sending you lots of love I know you'll make it out of this!

    • @itslaurenmonique
      @itslaurenmonique Місяць тому

      Aww I really appreciate you for watching 🥰 I definitely use this as like my little diary but also hope that my videos can find at least one person that can relate so they don’t feel alone. Feeling the exact way you are feeling right now and honestly change might be the best option. Sending you lots of positive energy and love that you can figure things out as well 🤍

  • @SharlenesJourney

    That’s sad 😢 I was thinking about Atlanta it seems nice I’m from The DMV but I kinda want to leave here I don’t even know moving seems like such a hassle . DMV is good cause of jobs and metro it’s very good easy to get where you need to be . Hopefully things get better but I’m glad I seen this so I’m thinking ATL is a no now lol 😆

    • @itslaurenmonique
      @itslaurenmonique Місяць тому

      Omg no don’t let me discourage you. Atlanta is a great city, just not my vibe. I’m so used to the Midwest and that’s just where home is for me. My friend told me I should look into the DMV, but I don’t think I can do the east coast. I would recommend visiting Atlanta for a few days to see if you can see yourself there.

    • @Mista.d

      @ thanks yeah I’m probably going to stay here for a little while till I get myself together I been through a lot here so that’s why I wanted to move but it’s just I have no idea where the DMV IS EASY for me to navigate to get where I need to go main reason probably only reason why I like it here etc I need a place similar like that atleast

    I moved to Atlanta in July of 2024 and I just told my sister that I can’t be out here, I’m moving back to Chicago where I’m born and raised or I want to try Charlotte, because I’ve heard nice things about it. But right now I’m honestly home sick and I’ve noticed myself feeling depressed since I moved here smh 😢

    • @itslaurenmonique
