I found this great listing of houses for rent in Tucson and it really got me thinking. Moving to Tucson sounds more and more appealing to me these days. I never intended to make here my home.
Take a look at these houses. The prices are insane. $800 for a 2 bedroom. And it's gorgeous! I would definitely want to live in a house that is built with southwestern architecture. I LOVE it. These places are so nice it makes me ashamed of myself for buying my condo, and don't even get me started on the price.
Over the past few months I've started to feel very disillusioned about DC. I'm not internally happy here, the way I think I should be. I'm always struggling with myself. All the men here seem to have a one-track mind. The women are just as bad. A man here can get it anytime he wants from anyone he wants. Why would a man even need a good woman? It's totally overrated. It makes me sad. And it makes my heart feel cold. Everyone is so driven by power that they don't even stop to appreciate it. West Coasters don't behave this way.
I'd have to get some protection against the tarantulas in Tucson, but I could just rent a place and work somewhere I enjoy and not have to worry about making a ton of money. I hate the rat race out here.
I feel like I'm trapped in a box that is going to make me a cold, hard, calculated version of myself. I love who I am, a genuine, caring person, and I don't want to watch myself turn into someone I don't even recognize anymore. I'm losing me. I just want to have something in my life that matters. And a stomach that doesn't hurt me all the time. I should choose to enrich my life by being with the ones I love, not holing myself up out here in DC for nothing.

OMFG. Those apartments are GORGEOUS.
USINFO is not a horrible job, and I don't hate it, but it does strike me as a soul-sucking kind of place where you wake up one morning and burst into tears on account of you realized you hate yourself. So, all in all, Tuscon sounds lovely. Your condo's probably increased, what, 30%? in the last two months.
If I had any sort of money whatsoever I would come with you.
I'm full of discontent and dissillusionment too. I just want a 9-5 job that I enjoy and a place large enough to make a painting studio. IE - a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. And apparently that only costs $729 in Tuscon. What am I doing here, studying something I dislike, working hours I hate?...
Let's all go!! Whoo hoo!!!
I'm there, too! :-)
