We both want to move somewhere more tropical. Ever since a kid, and taking vacations with my family to Florida, the place has this aura surrounding it that brings me so much happiness. I don't know exactly what it is, but something about Florida has always had a huge space in my heart. The modern feel of the cities, the tropical glow, it makes me feel so much at home. I have so many great memories from those vacations, and I'd really like to move down there. Every so often there will be a small window of time, that I'll be somewhere in NJ walking along (usually on summer nights, or sometimes in the spring) and I'll get this weird feeling of having that "Florida" feel. It's amazing, and depresses me greatly when it fades. And it fades way too quickly
However, there are things that I fear of moving there. I want to hear the pros and cons of moving away, and any other suggestions of places to move to. I've always considered that certain parts of California may offer the same feel, so maybe that is another option. Besides that, I don't know many other states/locations that have the same setting.
Also, I'm still in college, my first year, so for me I'll just have to find a new college to transfer to. As for my sister, she's almost done with college (sorta) so she'd just have to move down with me and try to survive with a job and a small apt for the time being. If anyone has any suggestions regarding this too, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, what are the people like in these locations? Am I going to continue on with no friends, lol? I don't get along too much with NJ folk, so I guess it won't be too much of a difficulty if the same thing happens where we move. I've just heard some negative things about the two locations mentioned.
Me and my sister really want to leave soon. We both can't stand NJ, and this place leaves me so uninspired, especially the location of my college. I can't deal with NJ cities, they make me want to curl up and vomit out my soul. I hate the run down feeling that is everywhere in NJ and the place makes me feel homesick to such a great degree. I know the same thing happens in parts of Fl or Ca, but I know from being there, that it is not nearly as close to the shittiness around here. And were not trying to move to these places, just to sit on the beach all day and drink tropical drinks. It's really not about the exotic landscape (partly
) but there's something else that I just can't describe.Again, any suggestions/help I will be grateful for. Thanks!
