Reciprocity from California to New York?

I moved from New York to California for the first time and I have this weird emotion?

  • For the 19 years that I have lived in this world I lived in New York, and I left my abusive surroundings, back in Brownsville Brooklyn. I took a plane for the first time in my life by myself and came here to San Jose, California. I had a strong emotional change being here, and I couldn't believe I was actually in California. I feel like I won't ever get use to the SF California bay area. Anyone knows how I am feeling or can relate to me? I'm just in denial I'm in California.The culture is so different, NY has more of a larger African and Latin diaspora, and here in California you see more of an larger Asian diaspora.

  • Answer:

    San Jose is actually more Asian. Come to Southern California. You'll get a Mexican feel! Don't worry about it. Eventually, you'll get used to it. That's how I felt when I went to Raleigh, North Carolina to visit family. I have never seen so many African-Americans in my life. Got used to the idea eventually.

The more south you go in California the more ethnic diversity you will see. I live in Southern California (I have my entire life) and a majority are hispanic. I do think that if I moved to NYC I would probably be feeling the same way you are. Take your time adjusting and see if it fits you. If it doesn't try finding somewhere else that may suit your needs more.
