It is an illusion as great as the falsity of the city itself, and only after leaving, and recovering, does one realise how true that is.
The same opinions will be made over and over :Those who 'stay' (handcuffed? By money? By career path?) and say they make it work for them. And those who say I realigned my view on the meaning of life and left.

My resignation letter written shortly thereafter was written with not the slightest feeling of apprehension.
