Home

I wasn't born and raised in a small town, I moved around a lot as a kid. I guess I don't mind, but if you have never changed school districts, if you have really only lived in one house your whole life, if you don't have to think about where your 'home town' is...then I envy you.

I get kind of irritated when people start complaining about their sleepy little washed up towns. I feel like it's the perfect example of not knowing how good you have it until it's gone. Right now, at this point in our lives we're suppose to hate our towns and want to get the hell out of here as fast as we can and never look back. People get caught up in this rush and it blinds them from all of the good things that are right in front of them. I feel like people who come from sleepy little towns don't realize how harsh the real world actually is. Until they maybe go to college, maybe they don't see how scary the world is...but they do appreciate their sleepy town a lot more. My favorite thing to hear a college kid say is how much they actually like their town, how they don't hate it as much as they thought, and how much they actually love coming home.
