    Dallas is GOP= Republican settled old money individuals. They don't know anything about CULTURE or societal norms. New Orleans gave it a little flavor; California made it fast paced.

    This video really resonated with me. I just moved to Houston from Austin to see if I like it any better. There are SO many black people here but Austin had a much better vibe. Growing up in California, I never felt so out of place until I moved to Houston. As a mixed woman I am appalled to say my fellow black people are very unwelcoming and come with hostility. I will definitely take my ass back to San Diego at the end of my lease.

    • @dy4710
      @dy4710 Před 18 dny

      I’m mixed too.. Moved to Austin from Sacramento to and agree with 100% of what you said. Been here for two years and I’m heavily leaning towards moving back. No diversity, passive aggressive looks, fake wokeness. I usually do really well on dating apps- don’t get nearly the same amount of attention here. Just over it all- not a great city for black people. I lived in San Diego for four years as well- I would move back there if I were you in a heartbeat

My wife just gave birth and i had six weeks off....my mental health which i ignored was highly improved. I had time to reflect on everything, and i mean everything. My wife has told me to leave, yet at 43, i find myself in an awkward place of transition. Even when i job search i don't see my field the same......glad you did whats best for yourself and your health.

    Gotta say, this was a nicely laid out vid. Watched the whole thing in one sitting no distractions, i know that sounds odd, but crafting a thoughtful dialogue like this without bloat takes some skill. As someone who's lived in Lubbock, Houston, and Queens NY, i get your viewpoints. I've never been to philly, but i know it has similarties to NYC. Id be willing to bet the best parts of Philly are better than the best parts of Austin, and i think this applies to most of the NE metros. That being said, your peace of mind, and financial room for error is probably much better in either of the Texas metros. If Austin or certain parts of Houston could be picked up and transported to the east, near NY, chefs kiss. You mentioned the heat in Austin, hows the weather in Philly? And would you ever go back to a north east city?

    • @anaisdottavio
      @anaisdottavio Před měsícem

      thank you so much for your kind words. totally get it, with our attention spans nowadays I also appreciate when I can just focus on one thing! the east definitely has its perks, and I love the larger melting pots that east cost cities bring. Philly has 4 seasons - so it's perfect for those who need that. I won't be in the south forever but the main reason I'd live in the east again is to be close to family :)

I can't see myself doing this for the rest of my life, fulfilling someone else dreams, a corporation that doesn't even care about your health and well being. You are easily replaceable based on shareholder value, profit margins etc.. It took me 3+ years to finally launch my YT channel - lot of time wasted on procrastination. But I am off the ground finally! How are you currently making a living? (outside of YT)
