lived in central florida for 7 years of my life, luckly i made it out alive, but feel aslthough my time and sense of peace and loving life have been distorted and manipulated by the endless days and nights in honest anguish and despair. Never once in 7 horrible years did i have just one day of peace. The people are either old and dillusional, redneck,simple minded and ignorant, psychotic manic depressives, or/and fake or followers. Going to high school and community college i still never had one conversation that i felt enlightened or informed by something honest, meaningful, or true.There is absolutely nowhere to go unless you drive long distances and have a large bank account. There is no mom and pop stores or very few, every store or restaurant is a chain preety much. The landscape is downright flat and ugly. Never really got to see the ocean being in the middle of the state but wow is there nothing of natural beauty there. All the trees are small and forests are swamplike. You cant go swimming there because of alligators and bacteria. Its too hot and sticky out 10 out of 12 months out of there year. When ever i went out for a nature day which i do in new england i felt so uninspired and dissapointed. Everything is cookie cuter like the roads, subdivisions, and the shopping centers, so fake. no beautiful landscapes, no beautiful architechture, no independent people, no sense of community or current culture, just a feeling everyday that god made a land that is impossible to connect to and people that are fake, uninteresting, and hiding in secret lives in which they dream only in self gratification and lies. It has changed who I am, i can never be the same person, i will always hate florida, its the opposite of all i find beautiful, most of the women have ugly personalities, no sense of grace or care, have no interesting hobbies, or dumb and unattractive appearances. I question if i lost my soul by being forced to live in Florida because it has made everything seem empty to me now. Why god would create such people and land i will not ever understand. From the people,culture places, climate, and environment, FLORIDA IS MY HELL and that is my truth. did i metion that no one likes good rock music or insightful movies or books? KILL FLORIDA NOW!
such rage. i love it.I lived in florida for a period in 2008, Boca Raton to be precise, and it was a very interesting experience. I like your comment about the land being flat, it didnt occur to me how flat it was till i saw a hill, and found myself staring at it wondering why i was staring at it. Turns out it was a landfill for garbage. Florida people i found to be very strange, many were addicted to something. There was lots of shallowness, pretentiousness and behind the scenes bitchyness. To be fair there was a culture clash with me being Australian and straight forward, it took me a while to see that they are definitely not. Luckily i did meet some awesome people who very nice and took the time to help my sanity out.But all in all, Florida is a bit of a cesspool. I feel for you having lived there for 7 years.
You re asking me, a resident of North Dakota, facing the onset of winter, to hate a state where people can walk outdoors in the middle of January and not face the prospect of freezing to death? Ain t gonna happen...
Wow, I kinda pity you. Yeah, FL is not heaven by any means, but if you pulled your head out of your butt long enough to realize that no where is perfect, you d find maybe it isn t so horrible after all. I ve lived here 26 years and the only people who seem to hate it are the ones who haven t lived here very long. So when I see someone like yourself who obviously couldn t live your Emo life in peace in FL, I m glad to hear you have left and gone back to your wonderful New England. We re not that bad down here, but you ve got to be able to realize that you re probably not as insightful and deep as you think you are. Take your antidepressants and get on with your life.
