New Orleans, Louisiana (and the suburb Slidell)
Fort Lauderdale, Southeastern Florida (by Miami)
I was born in Fort Lauderdale and moved around, and I lived in the New Orleans area age 12 until college.
Of course, I remember, in the New Orleans area, there were functioning things in life. We moved away after Hurricane Katrina for my dad's job, and from there I tried to re-sprout I remember when the internet became more popular with Facebook and MySpace and my generation was just out of high school. I had unfortunately come home from college, recommended out of my college program at a prestigious college and with no better option. It was a great time, despite my tormenting life out of college hoping to make it in the performing arts like film now. Things got worse and worse on that note, however. So, I do miss those thrifty, terminating times, as well. A big thing was we moved and I was college age and I wasn't connected to my surroundings or community anymore. My parents even were gonna split up and my mom stay with my younger brother in the New Orleans area, before the hurricane, so he wouldn't have to lose his friends etc. Unfortunately, my mom got cancer, and they both got sick and died, after like 15 years. I created memories around their deaths. I think I can make it, but, though I'm healthier again in ways, I also in ways feel really bad living where I do in the Cleveland, Ohio area, in East Cleveland, in a group home for the mentally ill etc., just an old 3 story house with bedrooms for clients.
