this is war
i grew up also on long island, new york. while attending a private school which allowed me to be transient in my upbringing. long island is kinda wild tbh, like you got a weird mixture of liberals, rightwingers, southern sympathizers (how homie u on the wrong SIDE), and all the while being on an island that it fucking snows on :pensive: we got great beaches thop

i'd love to leave (like everyone else from li), but i'm rooted here for university at the moment. i married to a guy from the bx. we're about as new york as you can get, ask me how i say water lmaooo

my family is also really stationed in new york, ca, and fl despite having routes in the middle east and eastern europe.

ACT IV: HOOLIGAN TALES
I grew up in Thailand, did the IB, then came to the U.S. for college.
Now I live in Pennsylvania.
I have become a suburbanite, and like all suburbanites, have begrudgingly gotten into gardening.
I shake my fist at the terrible car culture in this country - I miss sky trains and being able to stroll everywhere.
I walk my dog a lot and she brings all the kids to the yard.

It's aite.

There is no genie in a lamp here.
I was born and raised in Huntington Beach but moved to the desert in my teens. I’m not a fan of the desert and have spent most of my life trying to move back to the coast. But it’s just not livable at current wages so I guess I’m stuck in the armpit of Cali for at least the next ten years of my life.

mankind, be vigilant; we loved you.
suburbs/city girl from the philippines for,,,, pretty much all of my life, frankly. if you want a solid map marker, i'd definitely recommend asking anyone who isn't me because me and directional geography don't mix at all wheeze. VERY urban are as a whole, but not the most modernist / "citylike" of all the options you'd find in the country. solid in between of "city full of malls, commute stops, and poor air quality wherever you go" and "very chill cul-de-sac homely suburb village with its own grocery store, several mini local businesses, what have you". explains a lot tbh.

been to a bunch of places around the world, all as a tourist—japan, hong kong, thailand, indonesia, the good ol' US of A, england, france, so on—but never properly "lived" in any of those places if that makes sense? i ALMOST got a chance to study in the czech republic for a term abroad in uni, but then 2020 happened, so any plans for that went out the window.

buuuuut ask me this question again in around 4-5 years or so and i guarantee you my answer will be rlly heckin' different for Reasons(TM) that can best be summated to "2020 onwards has just been a wild set of years"



coming soon.
