It makes absolute, complete sense.
I grew up in small towns, and there's nothing as deadening.
The call of the wild all around doesn't make up for the lack of people. It's beautiful being outdoors, but it's important if you're a person who needs other people, it's important to have a lot of people around. It's why I like apartment living, right now. It's why I live near a busy intersection, and why I don't mind terribly looking into other people's windows and having them see into mine. FOr now, it's what I need. Also, things like theatre, restaurants, bakeries, libraries, the movies, the art gallery (which right now has a nice exhibition of French masters, beautiful). I wish I lived in a city that lived all night though, I don't like wanting to go for a late-night walk and the streets all empty and dark. I really like the bright lights and the action, for now. It suits my moods.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through, but remember what you need, Smokey, to nurture your spirit and get it whenever you can.
Can you take a trip to the city once in awhile?
