You were likely born, as most babies are, where ever your mother was, at the time.

If I grew up in Austin, I would’ve had a better environment to grow up in.

Where a person is born and where he lives while growing up are two different things. By necessity a newborn is in close proximity to the mother. Later, it becomes more of a choice, on the part of the child.

Yes. In the time you spend on here seeking sympathy, I mean--you could be seeking an old car & some spare parts. Take one hell of a road trip.
Have you ever considered van life or something?

I was studying on line. College was in CT, I was in SC. Wanted to go see the place so I just went & got my car out, told my folks I was going north--they were pretty far from thrilled--but I sure enough did go north, and had a real fine adventure.
Gerontius
Ended up moving here. Now living in Connecticut has been hell on skates but I've had an unforgettable adventure.
Gerontius
You got to go ahead & try stuff, Markness. It's more fun than forcing yourself into passivity.

The test of an adventure is that when you’re in the middle of it, you say to yourself, “Oh, now I’ve got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home.” Thornton Wilder, the character Barnaby speaking, in The Matchmaker (1955)https://www.drmardy.com/dmdmq/a

Cars are expensive and I don’t have any mechanical abilities so I wouldn’t be able to really pull off what @Gerontius is suggesting to me any time soon.
Gerontius
Mine was literally headed for the scrap yard, and since it was an old '90s Corolla I could find parts & spares pretty cheap. Sometimes even a train ticket can get you exploring.

I don’t know how I’ll get another job without a college degree and I don’t even think I have a resume.
Gerontius
I literally walked in somewhere and asked for a job, going over next Monday to see about a full-time one at the brass factory. I don't have a degree either.
Gerontius
You don't need a fancy resume. I just showed up on the porch & was like "any jobs?" and they needed a guy. Now a few months ago they had no openings
