Texas: Bigger Than Your Ex's Heart
So, You Think You Know Texas?
Let's talk about Texas. Not the breakfast food, but the actual state. You know, the one that's so big, it's basically its own country? Yeah, that one. People often ask me, "What's Texas like?" and honestly, it's like trying to describe the ocean in a thimble. But I'll give it a shot.
