Moving to minneapolis from a coastal city
I moved from Los Angeles to Minneapolis last summer, and it‘s one of the best decisions I‘ve ever made. My husband is from here so I got to know it on visits to see family. There‘s art, good food, and houses half the price of comps in LA. Life is way more convenient (even with the snow). It actually does take 20 minutes max to get across town, unlike the woefully inaccurate LA in Clueless. Plus, Minnesota is slated to be a climate haven in the near future.

I have a complicated relationship with it because like yeah it made me who I am today but at the same time I would never in a billion years move back. I also never really want to like, own a house/have a family so cost of living is negligible for me

philly, minneapolis, maybe baltimore
Each has varying degrees of transit mobility and work in different ways. All are on the cheaper end for major cities—though depends on your idea of cheap. I’ve lived in philly and minneapolis without a car. Philly’s trains and trolleys get you most places you’d want to go if you live near a stop. There’s also a bus system that’s a little frustrating bc of traffic but the routes are pretty comprehensive. Some bike lanes but the drivers there aren’t super safe to bike around. Minneapolis is more spread out and there are two light-rail lines (i think? maybe there are more? I’ve been here for like a month), and it seems like most people i know who aren’t driving take the buses. There’s also an incredible amount of bike lanes and trails. Downside is winter probably. And i haven’t lived in baltimore but i’ve heard good things! It’s also more affordable than most cities and i can’t attest to the quality of the public transit but i know it’s there.

Getting dumped for no good reason
Underrated because this teaches you that sometimes relationships won’t work for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Keep it moving

Taking care of my newborn
I love it, even with the repetition and exhaustion. Unexpected benefit: losing sense of time. Every task, from feeding to putting her to sleep, takes as long as it takes. I’m not trying to control time or “be productive” in the same way I did pre-baby.
