Dear Wisdom:

Of all the places I lived in LA County (A large, very spread out area from the South Bay in the south to the Valley in the north for one), I have fond memories of Culver City but that is my personal experience. And if I was to live in LA again, I would probably choose Culver City. It is very close to the city of LA, to downtown LA and very close to the rest of the West Side (West LA, Santa Monica etc.). I like the residential areas, private homes (I lived in rooms in such homes) but there are lots and lots of apartments.

I read your post to the other poster and I remember you wrote before about feeling like a pawn. It seems to me that you are feeling like your life is not in your control at all, that god has a plan and you are afraid to make the wrong move, fearing your move may not be according to god’s plan.

Do you feel then that you need to obey the plan, like a pawn, and you are waiting to “hear” exactly what the plan is before you can execute it obediently?
