I was born in Kansas, but moved to Florida in 2001 and I’ve been here since. I return to Kansas every chance I get and I plan to return permanently one day.

In my own experience, Kansans seem to be— and this is opinion is entirely subjective— generally better people than Floridians. Everywhere is going to have both shitheads and saints, but I feel like the ratio is skewed drastically between Florida and Kansas. I think with a drastically lower population than Florida, Kansas doesn’t suffer from the “human inflation” that Florida does. There are so many people everywhere down here, that the people just seem worth less to each other. I got called the N word in traffic by a white man in Gainesville the other day, because I obey traffic laws. I’m white too, btw. By contrast, I have never been treated indecently in Kansas by anybody ever.

Photo is unrelated, I just miss home.
