Really, WordPress?! You have to ask?
*sarcasm* 🙄
Well, what’s not to love about the Sunshine State?
Buckle up, because it’s about to be a wild ride!
We’ve got beautiful oceans
Big ass invasive iguanas
The coffee be strong as hell
How about dem gators? 🐊
Wildlife in general…
Hurricanes
It’s too hot for about 6-9 months out of the year
A random sun shower suddenly appears!
Floridians are a special breed 😜
Key West
Crazy drivers!
The oldest city in the United States
I forgot Disney World, which in my opinion is overpriced and overrated (don’t shoot the messenger!)
Publix!
Overcrowding 😡
Snow birds!
Florida has its own special level of crazy which most people find simultaneously fascinating, amusing, and horrifying all at once, but it’s where I was born and although I may not live here forever, it’s still my home.
There’s a specific charm that no other place has, that’s attributed only to Florida.
Why do you think all the New Yorkers come running down here to live?
Kidding! I love my New Yorkers. 😜
(Some of them)
Now before a war starts…that’s all folks!
A tad shitposty, but what else did you expect from a Native Floridian? No doubt I’m forgetting something, someone, or somewhere, as well!

🤣 😂 this is true! I’m close to one and she tells me she never visits family members because “why would I hop on the 3 hour train from Queens to visit someone in Brooklyn when I could take a flight to Florida in 3 hours instead?!” (To be fair, she had a bad experience on the train) lol 😂 Ahh yes, perhaps New Yorkers do know quality after all 🤣 thanks Mike! Hope you’re having a great weekend 🙏

Ah, you captured so much, and these images capture the FEELING and the ESSENCE of the thing, even when (very slightly off!) reality!! That chaos photo does say so much. Agree about Disney, too. You well comprehend what love/hate means! 😀
Funnily enough, a few days ago I did take a photo like the meme here with the blue vs. black skies. I looked left and it was gorgeous blue with white clouds as far as one could see, and then looked right and it was dark and foreboding, also as far as the eye could see!
