Change of heart

Why is it that I suddenly don't want to live in my apartment or neighborhood anymore? For the past 3.5 years I've loved it to the point of evangelically telling everyone I knew about how great it was. And then I went to Kauai, saw a place that actually seemed nicer than LA, which I previously thought impossible, and now I feel differently (the grass really is greener there...) It's hard to tell if I'm just ready for a change of pace, moving from my compact, urban existence to something more spacious, community focused and rural... like with trees that have leaves and stuff, not just dusty brown sticks with cobweb remnants and the odd cactus. Maybe I wouldn't feel this way if it would actually rain here for once - it basically hasn't for 2 years - so that things could look a little less desert like and a bit more like the paradise I originally moved to. Hopefully it's not just wanderlust because I can't deal with the idea of uprooting myself again for a little while.
