Imagine... U grew up in a city throughout childhood and half ur teens and had felt comfortable because you know the places to go, yet know and hang around the freinds and people U meet, and they know U well...all of a suddenly, the place U call "home" doesn't seem to get any better anymore, not the place you thought it was when getting older, and the people you used to hang around with now doesn't talk to you, or all of a sudden not want to hang around U no more for some reason U try to figure out (which is a long story how that got started LOL), and the places becomes even dirtier, and you parents are dealing w/ bad apartments, loud neighbors, and Ur dealing w/ ur own personal issues, too ...your parents want to move away, so you agree...you thought U are not moving in2 a another state, but a town far away from your town ur in as of now...so, U agree. But Ur parents announced that they are gonna move to not only a state, but a SURBURBAN COUNTRY?! ...and what's more drastic, not only ur a city person all of ur life, but Ur about to leave everything behind...the only close (and best) freinds, never seeing ur fave places to go to again, never be able to say goodbye to the people who U adore or like (freinds, family, work) or atleast get thier addresses to write back, leaving the good memories behind, yet bad ones. Suddenly, Ur in a country now, another state, and nobody knows you well, U got no freinds yet, but got another job, but don't feel the same about work or the people U work with, the places are foriegn to U, and what's more....U are not comfortable w/ the quiet atmoshere, because U are used to the loudness, in apartments or out on the street. It all gets perfect all of a sudden, U think.
But, U need to take a big step, not only for urself 2 get out of the mess, but for ur parents..4 the love of ur parents. In this story..it's actually about me. So guys...if U ever been through this, and/or relate to this story for another reason besides ur parents....Then U can tell me ur story and how U can get much better adjusted to the country life, and how to deal. If U do, Thanks!!!

I just think you needed that

Thank U...how sweet!!

You gotta be your own best friend first and foremost. If your happiness depended so much on being around others, maybe it'll be a nice change to live a more introspective lifestyle for a little while, develop another side of yourself.

Rural areas can be absolutely stunning, especially in the fall. It's a great place to clear your mind. Between the wild animals, which can be very entertaining, the clear skys at night where you can see all the stars, the clean air, the peace and quiet, there can be alot to enjoy about living in the country too.

Grab a sketchbook or a camera and go for a walk...

I hear ya! I live in Maine

HAVE A FIRST OF ALL.

Now get a job...and move wherever the hell you want to!

And then another
