people have no idea how hard it actually is to cut all your ties and leave the state, even if the new one is "better"

for the past several years I've been wanting to go live in Texas because it feels like it's calling me home. but I have to give up that dream. maybe in another life :(

there was a TikTok of a girl who said “I love Texas but Texas doesn’t love me” and it stuck with me

Exactly! Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤️🔥 it truly is such a deep and personal attachment that we all have to these lands and our communities and we’re often generalized which is wild

“no one leaves home unless home is a sweaty voice in your ear
saying-
leave,
run away from me now
i don’t know what i’ve become
but i know that anywhere
is safer than here” -Warsan Shire, “Home”

My partner and I moved last year because we saw this coming. It sucks, we wanted to stay in TX, but it just doesn’t feel that safe for us.

Any other Texans in the comments who also can’t afford to leave so I don’t feel so alone😞?

I just moved from Seattle back to Houston (for family), and EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I think of leaving again and saying by to my family and going back to Seattle. It’s genuinely so much better in WA

I can't imagine how difficult it is to need to leave a place that you still love and holds a part of you. Maybe in a not so far off future, it won't have to be this way. Until then, sending you love

We left DFW for MN in Summer 2023 after planning to leave casually for 4 years and concretely for 2 years. one of the hardest and saddest things I’ve ever done. I’m often homesick but don’t regret it

they will regret it when you leave. you make the community, not the other way around. take what you learned and make it better and safer

The way I understand this, is during the vid when my family of origin finally dealt with depression and anxiety, and I was sitting there for years of mental health issues of all kinds with no support and boom once it affected them, then it mattered. 🫂 it’s soul crushing.

This is exactly what I’m feeling 😭, EXACTLY. I love the DFW, the culture, the food, the ppl, but it’s time to go.
