I'm always happy to help.

A lot of people say that since I'm already level 20 just stay where I'm at and that the story blends together past this anyway, and the truth is they're right but when I go into the character menu and see that city-state emblem only I can see, I'll always know where I came from. Ill always know what I did.
Should I just roll Gridania and join Limsa's GC?
Or should I just suck it up and stay in Limsa and maybe wait until I join my GC?
I feel like if I truly loved Limsa, I wouldnt have doubts for Gridania.
But I do love Limsa! I chose it because Im from a portcity Irl.Â
But Gridania fits and feels the role. Crap if I know.
The pre-15 stories are actually fairly different between the three city-states; not only is the lore phrased differently, but the stories have a different flavor. So, there's definitely some value in being from the city-state where your character is actually from. If you think your character fits better in Gridania, then there's nothing wrong with rerolling. You'll get a different story experience, if nothing else.
Alternatively, you can play up your character's awkwardness in the situation in RP. He gets brought in to a political dinner of the thalassocracy and feels wildly out of place, commenting to his friends and others about it -- perhaps going to get a drink afterwards because he's so put out by what happened.
As others have said, you can also play with the mechanics of the situation. You can say that you were originally from the Gridania area, but have been staying as of late in Limsa Lominsa to learn arcanima. Because the arcanists' guild is tied into the taxation and customs systems of the city-state, you can say that you had to become a citizen to receive training, for example.
