I have been living in the South for quite some time now, and even though I thought I would never learn to like it, I actually have.
I moved down here to be closer to my brother since my mom passed away, and it gets rather lonely without family close.
I’m not the kind of person that enjoy warm weather. I would prefer it to be wintertime all year long. For this reason, I didn’t think I would really enjoy living down South except for the fact that my brother and his family are there. If you would have asked me last year, I would of said just that. I hated the heat, and worse than that was the humidity. I’ve never lived anywhere with such high humidity, and let me tell you, it’s awful. Everything feels damp all the time from the high levels of humidity in the air. Sweat never seems to dry, and I’m always sweating because it’s so hot. After being here for almost two years, I finally purchased a dehumidifier for my home, and it has been a lifesaver. I don’t know why I didn’t get one when I first moved down here, but I truly wish that I would have. The dehumidifier has made such a difference in my life. Now, I actually enjoy sitting other places in my house besides right in front of the air conditioner. Not everything in my house is sticky from the humidity anymore. Because of my dehumidifier, I have learned to enjoy myself even while living in a very warm and humid climate.
