People often get sick of city life, and move out to the country.
Can that be the opposite as well? Have you ever gotten sick of living in the country? Or do you?
Plenty of young people leave the country for the city. I imagine the city offers more opportunity to challenge yourself and try different things to figure yourself out. Some end up returning to the country and some don't.

Not a bit. It is easy to pop into a big city for a quick "fix" if I feel the need to get away for a week-end or so. Usually that is PLENTY of time to rediscover why I would NEVER live in a large city.
It kind of depends what you mean by "country life."
The parts of the rural US that are hemorrhaging population most quickly are the most isolated parts.
More rural areas within a reasonable drive of a larger city are faring a lot better.
So, most people have no interest in a life of true rural isolation. But people do enjoy their space, as long as the "modern conveniences" aren't too far away.

There needs to be a clarification on the meaning of country life . I think I can stand living in a rural town that is only 45 minutes-1 hour from a large city. I probably go crazy living in a truly isolated town or county and the biggest city near only has a population of 30,000. The smallest city(especially if its not a college town) I can go for that is 2 hours or more from a large/major city is Peoria Illinois or Champaign, between 70k-120k in population.
