Why can't you stand it?

I don’t like big cities or flat land.
Could you not live in a small town that is close to or in the same state as your family live in?
The US should really be smaller 'countries'... Culture and geography are entirely different in some places.
The two places he speaks of have little in common, I'd guess.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Hey , I live in a state that is supposedly flat and boring but it definitely is not either where I live!

It’s flat all over here and crowded for many miles outside of Chicago. No forests to speak of really
There's cultural aspects, too, though.
It doesn't mean any of them are 'bad' or anything... just different people like different things.

Yes I miss my homeland culture
What about the Des Plaines river trail system? I used to bike it in the summer.
How close are you with family?
Do you have close friends back home?
Do you have close friends back home?
It takes a while to develop a connection to a place. Eventually it will become familiar.
However, after having been away for a while and going back to my origins, it had all change. It was not the place I had left. The past I missed no longer existed.
Whatever you choose it will be ok. Us humans are adaptable like that.

Close. Friends not really.
I see no reason you can't go back to your home state and visit, but if you if you're close to your family, going back long term may not be the best. I suppose it depends on what you're most attached to...your family or a place.

Family’s more important. Still doesn’t take away the longing for home which sucks. Oh well. I just have to learn how to be grateful for what I have.
I've seen a couple of comments that suggest "family is the most important." And given @King Phenomenon's responses here, that appears to be the case here.
But is that a universal truth? What if your family members are self-serving, greedy, selfish, toxic jerks?

Yeah, I think somebody here commented if I get along with my family which I do
