I Come From A Small Town

In a town many places are your home, the mall where i visit, they ask me how am i how is life but they rarely give discounts.
The bank i visit, there i sit and talk and drink tea, bank people are like family,though i am shy of them


In a village, every place is your home, i have lived there too the 5000m high mountains was my home, i owned a private lake too till tourists ruined itshops were mine, people were almost like community, the 500 year old temple was mine, the 1.5MW hydroproject was mine as every one wanted me to be there馃槄


But in a city, not many people know you, you dont own most of thingsplaces you feel lonely and you join EP and SW to feel community. I lived in a family of 10, city had 3 million people, every park, garden and even people's time was paid

I live in a village too, and I lived in the -big- city.
I hate living here and what you list as flaws of the city, are pros to me.
Everyone's different I suppose :-)

I love not belonging to anybody and the opposite. Every place in the city is mine and of everybody else too, and I like it, it's civilization. In the city I'm alone but I can be full "with myself" working on my skills, personality and real interests, in the village you can be really lonely even if surrounded by people knowing you so well (apparently). In the city you have to build meaning relationships, they're not there ready for you just cause of boredom. etc.
