So I live in a (relatively) big city now. I’m always fascinated by the (social) super structure that is a city, and also by public transport inside cities. I like how life here never stops. You can find things to do at all hours of the day. I like all the weird and strange things the city has to offer.
It also has it’s downsides. It gets busy, polluted, dirty and noisy. There’s an airbnb close to my appartment and the guests party til 6 in the morning sometimes, on weekdays. If you complain, people say ‘you live in a big city, what do you expect?’ like it’s the normal thing to do. I miss nature sometimes.
I think I’ll eventually move to a village. Preferably at sea. But to be young in a city is a blessing at the moment.
I feel that countryside is too lonely and isolated for me. I went to a cousin’s rural area home and it’s a bit too much self-reliance. Cities are nice but seem too expensive to live in for me personally (I have before)Suburbs or villages (depending on your area) are a nice compromise. I especially like larger ones that have a few extra shops that smaller ones may not (soccer isn’t popular here in the US, most small towns have like Barcelona jerseys nothing else, so some larger towns will have soccer jerseys from more teams, also usually a few more nice restaurants and stuff) it’s also pretty safe
