Literally not sure why I’m getting downvoted because everywhere depends lol, Trumbull is not the town it used to be. Every few days it seems Trumbull is in local news for another fight breaking out in the mall, or another overdose in Trumbull center (remember the week there were literally multiple?) part of it is because it’s next to Bridgeport I know. Shit changes, I personally don’t have a reason to be here anymore. I’m not gonna stay locked here…. I’m not gonna pretend Connecticut is this perfect place. I can’t afford it anymore. I had to move to New Haven because it’s the cheapest place I could find rent, and a few months of living in New Haven has been absolutely miserable.

I’ve loved this state my whole life. I really have. But there’s nothing left for me here. Others have said they have family and friends here to keep them here or bring them back, but I sadly don’t. I wish I did, but two of my siblings and my dad passed away. My brother moved to New Mexico and my mom retired to Florida, nothing is tying me here and too many things remind me off the loss of my family. I can’t afford to raise kids here, nor do I want to at this point. Especially New Haven. I’m gonna miss the seasons a lot. Especially the fall, and Christmases won’t feel the same. But to be fair they stopped feeling the same a while ago.
