I dislike Texas so much it’s now ruining my ability to leave. I get off the plane and immediately feel dread about going back. I am on a beautiful trip with my family and have had a pit in my stomach the whole time thinking about how I have to go back there and sit alone in air conditioning

What is it about texas you dislike so much? I visited Austin and thought it much more livable than I expected.

You know, it’s lonely. It has been harder for me to make friends there than anywhere else. But this is fixable. What I need I am realizing is the ability to just go for a little walk. In Texas I feel like, as this tweet references, I cannot just be https://x.com/dylanoa4/status/1826936307789992048

Re: friends Had the same issue when I lived in PDX; People were friendly, we'd exchange info, and then they'd just ghost me. Places where majority of people are local or they moved there for college, it's hard to break in & find reliable friends. Vegas was easy to make friends, people move there all the time. Re: walks People say I'm crazy for leaving FL for Chicago because it's cold. But they have no IDEA what oppressive heat does; it gets hot from Apr to Oct -- I'm not waking before dawn to walk. And the nights are incredibly hot & humid also. How can I be active while having a heat stroke? Re: cars I recall you don't have a car. It's freeing to live in a city that allows you to be carfree but not feel trapped or limited. PDX was good with this even suburban areas. Chicago is good too. I hope you're able to take care of yourself 🫶 there's no right or wrong answer, only choices we live with 🙏
