Dear Texas,

Texas, Texas, Texas. You crazy state, you. Living in your domain is never easy, but it is never dull either. You have the most beautiful landscapes, the friendliest people and of course Whataburger. Not many people can ask more of you...except for one thing.

I was born and raised in Texas, and although I do have some complaints about this state I call home, the one that you'll hear the most from me is about the weather.

Yes, we all know the popular saying, "If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a minute."

But how are you even a real thing? One morning I can wake up and the sun is shining and beautiful, not a cloud in sight. Then, in the blink of an eye, a cold front can move in and it's a snowing and hailing with a dash of hurricane on the side.

What the heck?

And can we discuss how impossible it is to dress during October until late April? Im-freaking-possible. There will be days that hit 100 degrees and days that are 23 degrees in the same week!!

And I have only seen it snow a handful of times during my life and a day or two later it is warm enough to wear shorts, maybe even warm enough to go swimming.

What? Why? How? Just tell me why and I won't be mad. (I'm lying, I'll still be mad)

Then there is the rest of the year. May until even the latest day of September where I might as well not even step outside of my house while the sun is out or my entire being will erupt into flames!!

Am I supposed to just tolerate this madness?

I guess so. But I'm still going to complain constantly, and maybe you should just sort yourself out. Stick with a plan and keep it that way for maybe a couple of months before switching up on us again.

Sincerely,

A concerned Texan
