I live in a Texas city that tends to get a lot of flack, so much so that a popular song said: "Happiness is Lubbock, Texas in the rearview mirror." Oof. Mac David was a Lubbock native, so he's allowed to "kick my dog" but I better not hear it from any outsiders.

Honestly, any place is what you make of it. I love it here in lil ol' Lubbock- which I've seen explode in size since I was a little girl. There are many upsides- low traffic, friendly folks, and the ability to wear my favorite cowboys in literally any social situation whatsoever.

And I am happy to say that Lubbock did not rank in one of Business Insider's "50 Most Miserable Places To Live" but five Texas towns did. That's a whole 10% out of an entire country. Just remember- Texas is the size of five states so it makes sense, statistically at least.
