Moved down south for a bit, which totally helped me appreciate CT more. We are not hung up on the civil war, we have good Italian food, and people here drive at least the speed limit.

Missed being close to family so I came back. Had a way better time in the south

I lived in Manhattan for a few years and then flirted hard with Delaware county PA. Ended up back in CT and happy I did.

Moved to Texas from 2017 to 2019. I really liked Texas but the heat was brutal and the lack of seasons got pretty old pretty quick. I also had a really hard time making friends in my 30's. I'm happy to be back but I do miss Texas. I visit as often as I can.

I regret being gone from may to October.
Perfectly happy being anywhere further south in the other months

Moved to CA to meet my other half. Jobs are shit and pay are shit. Racism problems, cop beating people, cop pull people over for ridiculous things, incompetent people in gov., water problems, theft, bad traffic, not friendly people, and high vehicle registration which is also the property tax. You name it. Both north and south CA.
Moved to upstate NY. It was ok until the influx of immigrants from Africa come in we got our cars broken into, we got our house broken into. The pay is a little better but not that great. Business are shady. People lie to get their jobs so management are incompetent.
After 8 years away I came back to CT. Oly moley this place turn to shit itself. Pay is better but expensive in rent compare to CA and NY. I stop watching the weather cuz they are over exaggerating. Lazy employees, entitled people, incompetent drivers, the food variety suck compare to out of state, and pan handler everywhere.
No matter where you go this country is out of hand.

Went to college in Maine and loved there for a year afterwards. I came back for more diverse saltwater fishing, friends and family. Also Maine never really felt like home, which counts for a lot.

Interesting. When I got surgery on my finger to repair broken bone and got a metal rod inserted, they fucked up my local anesthesia and I felt everything for like 5 minutes

I was born here, went to college in Canada, fucked around in upstate NY for a couple years, then moved back. The thing is it's not particularly better or worse than most other places but I never really felt at home anywhere else. I just fit in here better. It's not the most exciting place and it's pretty expensive but I love it anyway

I would love to do this for the staff, but the floor is locked due to the nature of the treatment.

I moved to new Jersey for 8 years... I don't regret it, but I came back here to settle down and raise kids. Property in north jersey was crazy expensive, lifestyle was very high stress, and traffic was horrible. There are parts of southwest CT that are just like Jersey, so when I say I came back here, I mean back east of the river.

My brother and his wife moved to Texas in 2015. They were pretty miserable and came back within 1 year. They said summer heat was brutal, rampant racism, mosquitoes/bugs like they’ve never seen before. Oh and apparently the traffic is a nightmare.

That's good to hear. Glad you had a good experience and are doing better. I know when my mother was working at the hospital, she would always really appreciate when someone would buy the nurses dinner. Like from an actual restaurant. As good as the food may be at the hospital, I guarantee that there are some better restaurants nearby. Just a thought.

Moved to Illinois for a 8 years. I don’t regret it, but it’s great to be back. New England is home.
