Search Results: take back girlfriend

I lived in Connecticut where I was born all my life until 2018. I had just finished my first year of community college with 32 credits and I'd planned from the beginning to move to Texas to start my career.

Little did I know I'd be going a lot sooner than expected as my father was offered a job by my uncle in Texas, so we all moved down in late 2018. It's taken me a while to get used to the heat as 80 degrees is considered very hot in Connecticut but that's comfortable here.

At first I felt lost, like I didn't really belong there but the benefits of living here as opposed to Connecticut started coming very quickly as soon as I was able to motivate myself to groom myself up (I isolated myself for months because I'd spiraled into a depression) and get acclimated to the weather and start looking for work (Texas is ranked #1 in the nation for labor).

I got a job easily at a sandwich shop which didn't pay a lot but it's an accomplishment not really doable in Connecticut.

I also noticed how much cheaper everything is, especially housing and a lot less red tape to purchase a firearm, along with hunting areas and wildlife unlike anything I'd ever seen in Connecticut. Everything is so much cleaner and workers are picking up garbage all the time, which is something I didn't see in CT.

I've learned to love the state and really call it my home as I am getting back on track to start my career. I don't see myself moving out of the state unless it's to move to Florida to be with my long distance girlfriend in a case where she believes life for her and her family would be best in Florida instead of Texas. Me and her have a very bright future together and I hope I can sell her on the vast opportunity that Texas has to offer which just doesn't exist anywhere else. Moving to Texas was an excellent decision.

Have you moved from state to state? Are you glad you moved?
