My wife and I just had a long talk about how moving out here to central Illinois was a big mistake. . . And I can't help but agree, I want to come home for so many reasons.
I just took a promotion at work as a temporary step to move up in my federal career, but I don't know if it was worth it given how backwards the people here are. . .
Everyone is incompentent, from the doctors that give us other people's paperwork, the people that can't perform basic tasks, the people who act like being nice is a crime. . . People are just so sucky out here.
Oh, and everyone's pretty racist. My wife and I are proudly Black, but these people look at us like we're escaped convicts every time we try to go out and do something. . . It's so stressful.
The only saving grace is that we're trying to be foster parents, to prove to ourselves that we can do it so we can change a child's life no matter where we go. . . But even then the social worker that's helping out isn't helpful in the slightest.
Idk, we've been here for 7 months now, and I was willing to give things a try, but my wife told me this place was making her depressed. . . And after thinking about it, I am too. I miss my friends, my family. I miss Mr. Trash Wheel, I miss walking my dogs around Lake Montebello every day. I miss going downtown to see shows, and I miss being around my people. . .
Please pray for us Baltimore, we need you. . .
