NY is way too nostalgic for me(in a good way) to hate. For me, anyways. As for going back to NJ, if i could afford it, i probably would. Although it still wouldn't feel like home. It never did, actually. Just a very familiar place. The only time i ever truly felt "at home" was wandering around the desert when i was in the Air Force and i lived out there. I'd always vowed to go back there for good, but just haven't made it yet.
