I Live In The Country. Where Do You Choose To Live? Why?
Ξ March 11th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ The World Of Tom |
I’m lucky enough to live in the country and I just love living in the country. I’ve lived out here for a few years now, more than I care to remember actually. And I grew up in the city but I wouldn’t really want to go back there any more. What’s your poison?
There’s just so much to living in the country that you just can’t find living in the city. One example for you to think about. I love cycling and do it lots out here in the country. It helps keep me fit and that’s important and I definitely need to keep fit. And it gets me into some beautiful outdoors locations. Really beautiful
I ride past so many wonderful things, so many sights. I love to see cows in the fields and I see sheep and other animals as well. I even have my own cows and they give me calves which is great too.
It’s just one of the best things of living here, I get to keep cows and calves. I love that and all of the nature around me. Nature lives in the country.
Its summer right now and its really hot. We’ve had some very hot days lately. Now of course if I lived in the city it would still be hot. But here I see the cycle of the seasons so well. I feel more at one with the seasons and with nature now.
I see the grass wilt and die when summer comes, I see the grass regrow and get green again for winter. It see snow, I see drought, I see rain. I see nature.
There’s so many wonderful colors that I get to see in the leaves, then they all fall off and make compost around the base of the tree so that new baby trees can grow from the seeds they grow. I get to see the whole cycle of nature out here. Nature grows and I see it.
All of these things cycle. They go round and round and I really see what the seasons are. Seasons are important.
Maybe if I lived in the city I’d have a garden, maybe no garden. And I might not even have a tree. Maybe all I’d have is some concrete in my back yard and no more, except a BBQ perhaps. I do like BBQs.
Apart from the temperature I mightnt even know what season it is. I mightn’t see nature, just concrete.
It’s sterile in the city and I spent a large part of my life there so I’ve been there. Of course it’s just me that thinks it’s sterile, others don’t. What do you think?
Even the rest of my own family live there sadly. My brother loves it and he’s single so I suppose he needs more social life than me, and there’s probably more social life in the city. But I don’t like it.
I grew up in the city and spent most of my life in the city. Then it was fine but it really feels now as if I wasted a lot of time in the city, I wish I’d been born in the country instead.
I feel a little like I wasted a lot of my life in the city, that’s sad isn’t it? I didn’t really waste it of course but it feels that way now. I should ask my brother if he’d like to live here but I doubt he would. He likes the city. (more…)
