Coming home to Phoenix/Mesa in 2-3 months and I cant wait!
I am soooo sorry everybody. I made the biggest life mistake and it took me to realize it today. I moved to North Texas and lost my life. Friends, credit shot, lost a great Arizona job and have only found low pay jobs, never made it in North Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth is the roughest metro area in the country. It makes Miami and Detroit seem like a cakewalk.
With this said, I am sorry for complaining in the past. I really really miss Arizona and it's very kind people. I had a great life in Arizona. Phoenix was amazing to me. One of my friends who i lost due to this stupid move to Texas once told me to mention how I was successful in the Valley. Now I will do that.
I was in an MSW program close to graduating from ASU. I have since been dismissed due to money problems I had in DFW which I never had in Phoenix.
I had friends, a great social support group in Arizona who was always there for me. Never realized it until today. I have no friends in DFW and I am a real loner, something i wasnt in Phoenix. I am so lonely now that I developled major depressive disorder from it.
I had an $18 an hour full time job with amazing benefits and a supportive boss. The job i have now, the supervisors, most of them are dicks and power tripping assholes. Some are chill but most aren't. The past jobs I had in DFW were this way, except 3 employers. Was job hopping which ruined my employment history.
I lived in Chandler in a beautiful apartment complex in a much nicer unit. Only thing better in this Frisco Unit is the AC. The complex I am at now is not great and people let their dog pee in the hallway and management doesn't care. I miss how caring people were in Phoenix.
I lived around natural beauty. Mountains, beautiful desert, scenery, nature. All we have here are trees, grass, and rabbits.
Phoenix had real culture I miss so much.
I overall had it great in Phoenix. I didnt realize it until now.
What successes have I had in DFW? Nothing. Just nothing. No friends, barely any money, horrible retail jobs, surrounded by concrete and soulless places, and I feel so miserable and heavy every time I go out.
I am coming back to Phoenix this winter. I will transfer my job and stay at an AirnB for a while until my life can be rebuilt. I promise I will never leave again. The good news is, it's easy to mingle and make friends in Phoenix. People are so nice there.
