Not a real cowboy.

Lose everything, and then lose more.

Not to say that being exposed to other ways of living or cultures isn’t a good thing that can expand your worldview— It definitely is. It’s just weird when people compliment people on it, or worse yet, belittle people for having a narrow slice of life experiences. Like, shitting on someone for only ever living in one state and only having visited the surrounding ones.

That shit isn’t always a choice born from narrow-mindedness or religious dedication to the place you were born. I’d think lots of people would love to travel internationally, or even just the opposite coast— but the reality is a lot of people working ‘lower class jobs,’ if they’re even able to work, can’t afford the travel expense, much less taking the time away from their primary income.
