I spent 23 years of my life living in california. It's where I was born, it's where my family lives, majority of my friends. It will forever be home for me as much as I hate [REDACTED]. Don't talk to me about how badly you want to go to LA. I swear to god if one more east coaster goes "how was cali?" i'm gonna punch 'em in the throat.

THINGS I MISS FROM THE GOLDEN STATE:

• good ass mexican food
• REAL mountains, yosemite np
• sunsets on the ocean
• driving down the pacific coast highway
• strangers making eye contact/small talk
• ngl the weed

isn't is so weird that i somehow ended up in another 'c' state? i've been in ct for over a year now, and honestly, i really enjoy it. im just as close to the ocean as a use to be back home. like what do you mean im a short train away from new york fucking city? connecticut is severely underrated tbh.

SUPRISING PROS FROM CT:

• some of the best italian food and pizza
• actual seasons here, fall is INSANE!
• pretty sure there's gays > straights here
• takes 20 mins to get to any town
• punk/metal/goth scene goes hard
• small town feel, but so much to do
• NOT boston
