I thought I was an inner-city mouse, then I thought I was a country one.
Now, I think I'm a bit of both. I'm in the country too often, need more of a mix. Or, maaaaaaybe I need to move to a different country. Aha!
Then I'll be a city mouse again I think. With a little bit of country thrown in. As well as a little bit of rock'n'roll...
Anything but godforsaken suburbia.
Until 1984, I lived in cities all my life. Then I moved to rural Missouri. It was a big adjustment to make, but now that I have settled in and my dh and I have bought our homestead, I have to say, I wouldn't live in the city again for anything.
The peace and quiet is fantastic and the PRIVACY. You can't beat the privacy. I can stand outside my house stark naked, and roam around *most* of the 26 acres we own without fear of anyone seeing me! I don't have to see another living human being ALL DAY for weeks if I don't want to.
Can't beat it. Love it. Wouldn't live any other way from now on.
Country mouse for sure but the city is closing in fast. More farm lands are selling and thousands of houses going up every day ( it seems). I have been here for so long I think I would just shrivel up and die in a large city.
I live in the suburbs now and I do like the suburbs, but the one I live in is becoming more and more populated with city folk and the crime rates are going up. I spend a lot of time in less populated areas (my SO lives in the "backwoods") and I love it there. I'd love to become a country mouse if it wasn't so expensive and hard to find work.
I live in a city...no, wait, I live in the city. When I was a teenager, my parents bought a house in suburbia. And the fact that I came back to NYC reveals everything necessary to know about my feelings for life there.
I love the conveniences of a city but I need greenery around me. I need to hear birds and see water. I've never actually lived in a large city, but I have a feeling I would start to feel claustrophobic after a while.
I live in the country, but want to be nearer to the action. As long as I have a bit of room between my neighbors and me, and a plot of grass that's mine, I'll be happy.
I could not be happy in an apartment in a city..that would be awful.
