Urban Vs Rural; Life Balance

Welcome back to blog everyone! I hope we are all having a great weekend?

If I had the freedom to choose between the urban areas where (we have got the big cities, big companies) and the rural areas where live is more fun and exciting naturally without worrying about security and income, both the urban areas and rural areas have their own uniqueness.
Everything on earth has got an advantage or disadvantage, some things might good here and be bad there and viceversal.
Each area have their own different lifestyles that shapes the way we grow, socialize and work.

Clearly thinking, Urban life is high-spirited, dynamic and full of different opportunities, explaining while most people look for every means to leave the rural areas to the urban areas just to get that one opportunity that would change their life. The cities are definitely the center for technology, fast growth, premium entertainment, innovation and good education.
In the urban areas there’s always something happening, you wake to different events and entertainment everyday, bootcamps, networks within your reach.
In the cities one is opportuned to meet different elites and very important people in the society, the city has got more quality education, bigger malls, different restaurants and to he honest there’s something always happening in the city.

I remember some years back, I think I just graduated from senior secondary school, so my friends and I decided to visit Delta mall (shoprite) as at then they mall was just built so almost every important date was full of surprises, I remember we went there on children’s day (may 27). So we were strolling round the mall after getting ice cream and then they started playing a popular Nigerians artist song (kiss daniel), they were playing the jamz non stop, I kept on wondering why and it wasn’t too long when we bumped into him inside the mall, there was a lot of crowd both children and adult, everybody wanted to snap a picture with him, such type of fun hardly takes place in the rural areas.

However the rural areas offers intimacy, calmness and closeness to nature, take for example my village has got this very calm and soothing sea view, because it’s surrounded with water whoever stays there automatically have the opportunity of going to the beach anytime they feel like, the sea side is so calm, the last time I was-there I saw a fish jump out of the water, and it was fascinating.
Over ther I wake up to fresh fishes everyday although I don’t eat them, I get to different family members both the ones i know and the ones that I don’t even know, communities encouraged a simpler life, it gives you the opportunity to slow down, removing different forms of pressure.

The urban areas can be very overwhelming sometimes, lots of noise, pollution, traffic and daily presssure to meet up to standard, the cities are very congested just like yesterday my brothers wife had to walk a long very long distance because of the construction of the road which got her drained, and om the other hand the rural areas lack so much opportunities, limited health care, good schools and the rest.

In all of this I would really prefer a life thats in the middle, cause as humans we need both sides to live life swiftly, today we’re enjoying the big cities and all that it has to offer while tomorrow we just want something more natural and calm.
