Well don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
Which county is named after your great grandfather? I would like to know.
Funny thing about that - I moved here just about half my life ago, and all it took was a brief visit to really know that I never assimilated into the state culture where I was born. I feel I was born Texan, just in another state. The food, the people, the way of life (outside of the cities, that is), the culture all fit me - so here I am.I am a native but I have lived in a few other states. Alot of good people have moved here but I think that it is harder for people that arent from the south / west or atleast a rural area to assimilate into the traditional Texan culture that I grew up in and still live everyday.
The big takeaway is if you come here, assimilate and dont expect us to cater to you or your way of doing things because I am not changing for anyone
That is no joke. I drove LA to Houston. My mid way point was El Paso.I don’t know if it’s actually true, but the joke for Marine aviators going from Corpus Christi to San Diego is that half way point is El Paso. Think about it. You are going from Texas to California, half way across the country. Halfway into your journey, you’re still in Texas.
Again, never done the math but that’s the joke Marine pilots tell each other. True or not it keeps the legend alive about the size of Texas.

Fun fact - I was born WELL north of the Mason Dixon.

What that reminds me of?
The Southern/rural part is absolutely true. Being from the Carolinas originally, with a very proud and well documented family history there, the lore of Texas and the freedom associated with is not hard to understand. Even from days of old, that’s what brought many Southerners to Texas. The independent spirit of Texas has always drawn those types of individuals here. I’m eternally thankful for my family’s roots in SC, but Texas will always be the place that feels like home.

Yea dont get me wrong. My wife is from NJ and until the south has a ready supply of hot italian women, I guess I am shit out of luck on finding a southern one. I dont hate northerners from the country because in alot of ways, they are just like us. I lived up there for a few years and met all kinds of good people and a ton of my buddies from the USMC are yankees. Its just the city people really. They think life should be lived at x10000 speed and that everyone is a giant inconvenience to wherever they are going at that very moment. Does anyone want to live near people like that? I sure as shit dont want to.
The key issue is assimilation. You should absorb the culture and you leave wherever you came from at the door. Sounds like you are doing this and have been for a long ass time so as the aussies say "GOOD ONYA MATE"
