    I grew up in an extremely rural area, but the people that were around were incredibly kind and accepting, especially to others that were different. Now I’m raising my kid in the biggest city in the world, but with the same values they taught me. So I’d say it’s not so much the place, as it is the environment we create there. Which in Texas’ case is utter, total, complete dog shit.

      I also grew up in an extreme rural area and didn’t enjoy a single moment of it. I am raising my kids in a small city next to a massive city.
