Falling for Texas | A Few Dallas Stories

🐃This is where it all began. Having lived in the US for so many years, I never truly explored this place. I’ve seen so many posts calling Dallas boring… But to my surprise, I found it unexpectedly interesting 🤔 — and in such unique ways. Dallas feels like a city with its own strong character. This time, I also visited nearby Fort Worth — the Cowboy Town 🤠 And I absolutely loved it — especially the Rodeo Show! Unlike other touristy towns, the moment I arrived, I felt like I was the cowboy — not a tourist at all 😂 The sense of immersion was unreal. Maybe that’s just the charm of Texas. 🍖I used to have so many stereotypes about Texas, but after coming here, I found people to be warm, welcoming, and surprisingly open-minded. I don’t know if living here long-term would feel different, but for now — I really like this place. Rugged yet gentle. The skyline isn’t towering, the streets aren’t crowded, but it doesn’t feel empty or abandoned. And — most people dress so well! That effortless kind of cool. 😎 Maybe the “redneck” vibe only really shows up in rural Texas… Most places and people here felt genuinely decent. Or maybe it’s just the low percentage of certain groups here. In a time when far-left ideologies can feel exhausting, I feel like I’ve seen through a lot of the “liberal” performativity. Even as an immigrant, I don’t enjoy the “diversity” narrative as much as I used to. 🍂Dallas in the fall is truly comfortable — a season of wearing whatever you want 👗 and feeling completely free. A week here felt both fast and slow. Country roads… take me home. 🍂 Maybe home isn’t a place, but a feeling. And in Dallas, I felt strangely at peace. 🌾 #US #Texas #Dallas
