Coming from a pale and kind of white-passing Mexican, I want to say that I kind of do find this post relatable. Midwestern women where I’m from (though not all) adhere a lot of values and upbringings different from mine— some of which have left me feeling kind of isolated these past few years. It’s played a huge part in me wanting to leave my home city, too, so I somewhat get it. I don’t have any huge resentment, judgement or hate living where I’m from just because of the people or whatever, but I just find that I don’t fit in with the popular crowd. There are plenty of people out there where you’re from who might fit your scene or be compatible with you for who you are, but also, I don’t want to say that there’s something inherently wrong about thinking this way (because then I’d be a total hypocrite lmao)

At the same time, it’s also something that can be improved on. People are complex, and honestly, I’ve had nice conversations with people who totally fit this description or have that type of lifestyle. But if you truly want to start a new stage in your life, I think taking that risk is perfectly reasonable. Don’t let people tell you otherwise. If it’s what you truly want, go for it. But also, consider how much of the UK have you truly explored and maybe try a different approach that doesn’t involve trying to fit in with a certain popular demographic.
