| Manhattan, KS

See the difference? Libby has gorgeous mountains, lots of trees, a beautiful sky. Manhattan has...some cool colors...in the fall and spring. Why on earth would anyone go from the most beautiful place on earth to Kansas? That's weird.
Montana is...breath-taking. You say Montana and people have a gorgeous picture of mountains, open sky, and wildlife without ever having been there. Montana has a pretty good reputation, from what I've heard. People vacation to Montana, they don't vacation to Kansas.
Regardless of what non-Kansas folk may think about Kansas, it's actually a pretty great place. The best part of Kansas: Superman. Clark Kent lives in Kansas, automatically making it that much better. Apart from Clarky boy, Kansas has it's own kind of beauty. Sure it's flat, doesn't have a ton of wildlife, is windy all the time, and is really hot 9 months out of the year. There's just something about the place that you have to experience yourself in order to understand its beauty.
Despite my love for Montana and my adamancy against liking Kansas, it has grown on me. Change is tough sometimes. Especially when you are leaving something you love and going to a place you...don't love. You just have to take it one day at a time, try to appreciate your new surroundings. Even though Manhattan, KS is not Libby, MT, Kansas still has its own beauty, its own greatness, and Clarky boy.
Have you had to leave a place you love for a place you didn't want to live in? Let's hear about it!
