Living in it, having a great life with my family, because I was able to afford to buy a home with land (I own several acres of land and a house), very clean air and water, no city stenches or noises.
All of you city dwellers sound so miserable struggling to pay for life’s basic necessities and I’m out here just relaxing enjoying my contentment in the woods. I have a great job and all my needs are met, along with all the needs of my family.
I most likely couldn’t achieve any of this except getting a “great job” in the city.
I’ve lived in rural America. I don’t recall it being nearly as idyllic as you’re describing. I remember a metric fuck-ton of opioid addicts, illiterates, bible-thumpers, teenage pregnancies, child abuse, and a lot of pride in one’s own ignorance.
Congratulations on your slice of heaven because my experience was, at best, living in a banal uncaring purgatory.
The natural splendor helps though, I’ll agree with that.
It sounds like you were too involved with the wrong people. When I encounter anyone like that, I avoid them, and it’s usually quite easy to keep them out of my life.
