I have lived in a variety of settings due to moving around at a young age and once my Dad was retiring from the Air Force we settled into Cali.
{Air Force Brat 10yrs, Bakersfield, Ca. 17yrs, PNW 20yrs, (Georgia 2yr, Louisiana almost 1yr)}
If I grow up in the South, I can totally see its charms. Half my life on the West Coast. Its amazing how different the areas of US are in culture, ways etc.
I moved from Bakersfield to get away from the heat to PNW.
Moved to Georgia due to eluded support with owning our own home (partners Mom) and
finding my natural mother living in Georgia. I am adopted.
In Louisiana with a roof over our heads and trying to save money to get back home.
We are now starting from square one again. Its so expensive over their now however that's home. I was doing well with my mental health, physically and emotionally on all levels.
Now not so much.
