Dreams Don't Fit In A Rural Life.

1 day ago

If I am being completely honest here, if I had the chance to choose where I want to live , without thinking about money, security, or any of the stress that usually comes with adulting , I would absolutely choose the city, No long story here, the city just fits me better, and at this point in my life, I have realized that environment matters more than people admit.

For a while now, I have been battling with this whole where should I really live? dilemma, and every time I try to convince myself that staying in a rural area is manageable, reality always taps me on the shoulder like, Stop deceiving yourself, the truth is, staying at my parent's side has not helped me grow in any way, i have tried to push through it, but I can literally feel myself being held back, almost like I am trying to run forward but someone is dragging my top from behind.

This place is too rural, it is too quiet, too limiting, and honestly, it is not an environment for someone that wants to hustle, build, or create anything meaningful, You can have dreams here, yes , but the problem is, nothing around you supports those dreams, there is no motivation, no opportunities, no networking, no exposure, just normal life and then those who have farmlands.

Meanwhile, the city, whether we like it or not, is where things actually happen, see you don’t have to force opportunities there, they are just everywhere, even when you are not looking, something is happening, someone is building something, someone is connecting you with someone, the energy alone pushes you to do better, you wake up and you already feel like, I need to move, I need to get things done, see that kind of drive is hard to find in a rural environment.

In the city, you can meet people that can influence your growth without even trying, you can network, learn new skills, get access to better jobs and better systems, even small businesses thrive better because the customers are there, meanwhile, in rural places, everything is just slow. Too slow.

And honestly, I don’t want to live a slow life, asin I want to grow, I want to work, I want to create, i want to be in a place where I am not fighting my environment just to become the best version of myself, Life is already stressful, adding a limiting environment on top of that is just unnecessary suffering.

Sometimes I sit down and think about how different things would be if I wasn’t stuck here, because that is how it feels stuck, and that feeling alone can eat away at your motivation, it is like you want to move forward but everything around you is standing still.

Living in the city is not just about noise and buildings, it is about access, Access to opportunities, access to people who think like you, access to growth, It is about being in a place where you are not the only one dreaming, It is about seeing people chase their goals and feeling inspired to chase yours too.

Right now, the only thing stopping me from living permanently in the city is the usual, finances and responsibilities. If I had the freedom, I know exactly where I would be, somewhere I can build something real, not somewhere that keeps pulling me backwards.

One thing I know for sure is that rural life is not for me, maybe for some people it is peaceful, but for me, it’s limiting, I want more out of life, and the big city is the only place that matches the version of myself I am trying to become.

One day soon, I will move fully, and when I do, I know things will shift for me, because the truth is simple, your environment can either make you or slow you down, and I am done being slowed down.
