It's funny how until you experience living in a different area than you grew up how you can't truly appreciate it. I grew up in the city. It was 10 minutes to anywhere I want to go. My ex and I decided on a crazy whim that we wanted to raise our kids in the country. It was about 45 minutes from where I grew up but might as well have been a whole different world. I moved back to the city about a month and a half ago and I realized there are so many things I'm loving but there are so many things I miss.
City..............
*I love being close to everything.
*I only have to fill my gas tank every 2 weeks instead of twice a week or more.
*I love being close to my friends and family. My grandma lives 6 blocks away!
*I can now go to parties and family get togethers without preparing hours ahead of time.
That's it lol
Country....
*Those sunsets.....I miss those like crazy
*The stars
*The wide open skies
*The sunflowers
*No stoplights
*The traffic
*The grocery store. I have gone to 5 different grocery stores where I live now and I hate how they are laid out.
*The fresh air
Such a difference! I'm a country girl for sure!
Growing up I lived in a very rural town, and I couldn't wait to get out of there. Now that we live in a big ol' city I miss that country town like crazy!
