I hate where I’m from.

Title says it all. I hate the place I’m from. I’m certain there are other people out there (probably from different places) who moved away like I did and still hate the place where they grew up. I’m not going to act like a special snowflake here and pretend like I’m the only one who has ever felt this way.

I HATE where I grew up. I spent my first 18 years of life out there then moved away. Now, many many years later, I still hate that place. The people there have such closed minds. I still get flashbacks to days when I would feel like such an outsider (which was most days.) and how not just the other kids but the adults made me feel.

I’m not of the main/most common “races” of people from this area so growing up I faced a lot of bullying. The people there all had anger problems too. It wasn’t until I moved to a much more populated place that I learned that it was actually uncommon to have gotten into a bunch of fist fights before you graduated from high school. And before someone here gets at me with “it was actually pretty common in the tough neighborhood I grew up” yes. I understand that there are countless other areas where it is common for people to have anger issues and get into fights a lot. Namely the lower-income areas like the place I grew up. But fuck that shit. It doesn’t mean you have to believe that MOST people fight all the time because most people don’t.

Anyway, there are several more reasons I do not like where I’m from. Don’t need to go into that much detail here because this is just a site for ranting and getting shit off your chest. But yeah. Fuck that place. Fuck those people.

I don’t even live there anymore and have no reason to ever go back. Perhaps I feel guilt about holding onto this for so long. Meh. They can get bent. Now back to living my life away from that shithole.
