This is where life as I knew it changed. This is where a new feeling slowly, eventually, permeated every cell of my body, changing the way I took in the world. My perceptions, opinions, everything changed the year I moved from Texas to Virginia.

About This Quote

Many people think that the only way to change is to leave a bad situation. In fact, that’s not always true. Sometimes, by simply being in a good place, you can change the way you see the world. A year ago, I moved from Texas to Virginia.

While I was happy to be moving, I was a little sad to leave a place where I’d been happy for so long. But as soon as I got here, everything started to change. My perceptions of things began to change.

I saw people differently, and my opinions about how things were going changed as well. People would ask me what it was like up north, and I would explain that Virginia was nice and all, but it wasn’t Texas at all.
