A True Southerner

Lately I've been thinking about places that I wouldn't mind moving to. I have lived in the south my whole life, but I have traveled north and east and west. I don't think I will ever leave the south. It's my comfort zone. You don't have to deal with the congestion of say a New York or Chicago. The people are nicer. The weather is better, to me at least. I don't like cold weather. Don't get me wrong. There are things that I like about the other regions of the country. I don't love the humidity down here and there is so much more to do in the larger cities up north. That's why they would be better vacation spots for me. At the same time there are things about the south that I don't like. If anybody should know that racism still exist, it's anybody who lives in the south. And depending on where you live, you might have to go a distance to get to next city. But I kinda like that about the south. Road trips can be a good thing. I need to take one now. We'll see what happens. I haven't been put into a situation where I had to make a choice about my career vs. the region. Until that day comes, I'll stay in the south.
