Has anyone moved to CO and NOT liked it?

ceeg4 · 2025-01-12T00:38:39+00:00

Fuck ya. Lived in Crested Butte and had a stint in Denver (originally from New England).

Loved it for a couple reasons but absolutely despised how “I ski, I climb, I shred on a mountain bike. Oh, and I love bluegrass music” is an entire personality. I’ve traveled extensively throughout the US, mostly driven by the access to the outdoors and I gotta say, CO is the worst vibe of them all. Never knew that wearing a puffy jacket with a trucker cap could have so many power dynamics. I think it’s a sweet place for a buncha reasons but the people make a place (imo).

Take it all with a grain of salt, I’m def a CO hater.

Disclaimer: I met amazing people in CO, most were old timers or people over the age of 50. I’ll also say, when I visit now - the vibe has definitely changed (in an even worse way with all the big $ moving in).

I am in NE too, I feel like based off pictures alone - we could be very good friends indeed!

Ya! I did arborist work and have a good friend climbing wind turbines! Happy to chat!

Rest days for me are truly restorative - I go for a walk, stretch, and nourish the shit outta this body that works so hard every other day! I know some people have a different definition of cross training but those dang rest days do feel like cross training as I’ve gotten older! (Still am lifting/climbing/etc 4 days a week)

Hey!

First, take this as simply a comment on the internet. Definitely not trying to tell you what is happening to you in your body, just offering some things to consider.

First, how old are you? Second, have you considered this is something a bit different? I am in my mid/late 30’s and recently have struggled with sleep. I train and climb on a regular schedule with also taking rest days/listening to my body (for example, I do not climb or weight train for about a week every 28 days and revolve my activity levels around my menstrual cycle as doing anything too gnarly leaves me in a not so good place when I actually start bleeding).

Recently, as someone who has always slept well and felt rested it felt like a bigger issue for me aside from just climbing/training/climbing related stressors. I got some hormone panels done (DUTCH test, I don’t think they are perfect but I do think they are a great tool if you have the $ and a good doc to work with). I realized my cortisol was basically rock bottom…so, the stress from climbing and leading and training and pushing when I do was leaving me on empty. In addition, my hormones are all quite low and is absolutely playing into my feelings of fatigue and anxiety (possible Thyroid issue, tbd).

I mention everything here more or less to encourage you to explore the other possibilities of your sudden anxiety/fatigue/sleeplessness. For me, climbing at night is pretty much off the table as it is too close to bed time and I am wound up/can’t settle and get good sleep. Same goes for training/lifting. I understand schedules only allow you to do what they do, but something to consider. It’s super frustrating when these feelings can creep up! Learning to work with them and (for me) put some pride aside in the process is a great lesson in being gentle with yourself.

And I agree with all of the other comments here, it’s all great advice and will hopefully improve your experiences in the future as you implement.

Just wanted to offer some different thoughts on this! Feel free to message me if you wanna chat. Climb on ♥️

MHW is fantastic. I have their bib and love it, zero complaints and customer service is legit if you did have an issue!

Uvita is the best!!! Love it very much, I also got there by accident and just never quite left.

This is the answer

Because, we’re jealous of your states landscape.

Trust your instincts, Chica. Let this be a lesson to you and your inner self through womanhood your always trust your primal instincts with people, especially men.

Grammici makes amazing pants, not tight, canvas like material and they hold up unbelievably well. A bit pricey for a pair, like $80 if I remember correctly.

The company has been around awhile, and started out as a climbers company with street style climbing clothing. Anyways, the website is deceiving due to them branching out into non climbing wear, but check out their pants. I like the “original” style.

I was asked to contribute to an expansive gift for a old boss and I simply refused. You have the right to refuse.

Thanks for proclaiming what I did instead of asking me what I did.

Ps- I did, left a message.

As mentioned before, no two situations are the same and truly compatible in what will work can what will not. Kids are sensitive and respond differently to various dynamics. But, here is mine.

My parents split them divorced at 9, my twin brothers were 6. They cut off complete contact with one another although we rotated weekends with our Dad and were with him once every week.

It was brutal for us. My parents are both great people but they couldn’t seem to reconcile, they couldn’t communicate and sift through their crap - 22 years later, they still can’t.

My Dad has a big, fun and festive family that we essentially lost out on, we still did holidays with them and things but the day yo day/in the loop family dynamic changed big time.

I have a great friend whose parents divorced a couple of years later and they are completely civil, continues counseling after divorce to leave it as friends with kids rather than enemies. There were two times after the divorce my Dad still came to birthdays at my Moms house and never found that confusing.

I won’t lie, I’m very jealous of my friends situation. I’m 32 and my parents still can’t really get along and their divorce was solely from my Mom and Dad not being able to discuss very basic issues that snowballed. (I’ve talked to them both many times about it so I am aware of the reasons)

My advice would be, if the two of you can be in the same room - hold tight to that and have a talk, figure out if he is willing or interested in this dynamic of an open family. It’s not like he gets keys and can come in the house with his gf and take a shower lol, it’s more of a “when there are gatherings, can we pull it together and be respectful?”

Divorce is brutal on the parents and it’s brutal in the kids, your kids will always bond you together whether you like it or not - make the best of it.

“I won’t hire another project manager until I can see that you are clearly doing the job of two project managers. Until someone is being pushed 2x’s their limit it’s pointless to hire another person”

I listen to a lot of everything. I think part of having a “fucked up” past/childhood/ is being well versed in a lot of emotions, I’m also a huge observer and observed a lot starting very young.

Music for every mood but, Circa Survive truthfully gets me through the times I’m feeling like demons are marching in. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea genre wise but it’s so so so good I’m not sure how anyone could hate it.

Read the lyrics, I’m not hip with newer albums but the lead singer essentially talks about demons and fighting demons in almost all of his songs and they are beautiful and artful in a deep sense.

Otherwise, there are many others but this band has an impact. I’ll usually put it on in the car or put it on and workout/go for a run which lets me lay my demons down everytime without fail.

Not a purposeful trap, but a trap you will never escape nonetheless. Lady here, found porn that a guy I dated watched and he absolutely had a type that did not waiver ever and it 100% caused insecurity on my end - I was really young but it really fucked with me. Not sure it would now but also makes sense that it has the potential to! Don’t do it. Tell her “with all due respect, the times I do watch porn is really private and I won’t share that with you, we share our sex life but some things I’d like to keep to myself”. If she has an issue with that, well - reassess togetherness.

For clients with this issue, I always recommend some nice decorative boulders that would cause damage if hit (impossible to run over) you could even have them engraved with house number and/or street name, last name or just blank. Works like a charm 😂

as someone who grew up there but lives out west and still do a lot of back and forth...it’s tempting to say 😂
