i honestly, truly don't think most Europeans understand how big the U.S. is.

we are basically fifty different countries stacked in a trenchcoat. we are almost the same size as Europe in its entirety. it takes 15 straight hours just to drive across my home state. the cultural and economic difference between Oklahoma and California is like comparing Croatia and the Netherlands.

stop forming your ideas of what living here is like based on that one trip to NYC you took in college or that one influencer you follow that lives in San Fransisco

#sincerely a very tired american #just watched a grocery haul video from this person who lives in portland #cue all the europeans in the comments being like ''wow food in America is SO expensive!! i get my food for half that!"#like my guys. portland is a super expensive city.#what if i judged the food prices in all of europe based on grocery costs in paris
