I am a Minnesotan. So I live in Minnesota. It's a lot easier that way. When I was a Minnesotan living in California, that was very hard. Similarly, Nebraska: not so good for a Minnesotan.
Being a Minnesotan is not just activities/services, not just culture/values, climate/weather, family/friends, money/cost of living. It's all of those things and none of them and a bunch of other things besides. It is not going away as long as people like me are willing to put some back into it and make damn sure it doesn't.
This is home. I'm not going anywhere. Hence the icon joke.
That's about the shape of why I am where I am too. I'm a Toronto girl. There's something they put in the water that gets in your blood, and you don't leave, and I am generally in giddy love with my town.
I like other cities, but any other city in the world is someone else's house to me.
