Source: I live in Texas. Well, ‘live’ is a kind way to say that I inhabit the state. It’s more like I just kind of exist there in perpetual anger and frustration.
Also in Texas because twenty years ago, my beloved wife HAD to have a house and there was no way in hell that was happening in California.
Today the wife is gone, the house is gone, the dogs are dead, and the daughter is grown and living in a far away civilized state that respects her right to exist.
And I’m still here. I pretty much don’t leave the house anymore except to go to work and get groceries. So very, very tired of everything here, but no viable way out in the foreseeable future.
Fuck Texas.

Come to Chicago. It’s amazing.
I’m sorry. I hope you’re able to find a viable way out sooner rather than later, and fwiw there are many of us who feel this way. Take care :)
