When people suggest you move it is with your quality of life in mind only. We moved mid Covid from red to blue and the difference is night and day. I didn’t ‘have’ to move, I moved because I knew it would bring me peace and happiness. Is it possible that move only bought us time? Perhaps. But time is precious. I may die before anything changes where I am now and even if I don’t? I enjoyed my life for longer than if I’d stayed
I am visiting a friend in a red state. Went to a diner/bar last night. It was someone's birthday so everyone sang. A friend or relative at her table had brought (brung?) brownies. She asked people at the tables around her if people wanted brownies, we all did LOL. My first thought is "are they going to LET her do that?? Where are the brownie police? This isn't technically food from a licensed restaurant I can't believe no one cares." It was so refreshing to be in a place where people were just normal. Felt like being in a time machine back to early 1970 when the center was still holding.
Like when we did a road trip to South Dakota and I saw ammo for sale right at the gas station counter. Didn't even get asked for ID, if you're from a blue state it's surreal when you get to experience how the rest of the country lives.

Do you mean from blue to red?
I hope so because that would be mind numbing. Going from a red state to a blue state during COVID. Nightmarish.

Brought.
Brung is nonstandard, generally used only in "dance with the one that brung you."
Wise thinking. Life is short, enjoy it where the quality of life is highest if you are able.
