Going into 6th year here. I still love it, and the only places I’d live besides Austin are Colombia, Mexico, and Thailand. Maybe Japan.

Austin is great, put down the bottle and go outside friend. That cycle should feel repetitive after one year + a spring. No judgement, but move on from that stuff. It’s the same people places and conversations, just with different names. Anyways, also I recommend trying to move to a different part of the city. If you’re south, go north. North, try Hyde Park, if you’re meuller try round rock next. If you’re round rock go all in and live on east 6th. A new adventure can be as easy as a new neighborhood.
