☕ + louisiana (because what's one more post in the tag)
*cracks knuckles*
People who’ve lived their entire lives in New Orleans need to shut up about the whole rest of the state. “Oh they’re basically Texas” and also “wah they don’t want to do the things we tell them to” oh wow I wonder why? Is it because you’re super condescending assholes about everyone who didn’t go to a private Catholic high school?? It’s possible I’m a little bitter toward certain persons!
But Louisiana is where I was born; it’s stamped into my blood and bone. Almost everything I love is found in its most quintessential, its platonic ideal, there. I was born for those rivers in particular, although I may love rivers in general. I was born for those magnolias specifically, although I am always happy to see magnolias. There’s no other way to express it. It’s a stupid state with lots of stupid people and even more stupid tourists. But it’s beautiful and it’s mine. I think I’d love it even if it weren’t beautiful, but I’ll never have to know.
