Which would you rather live in?
A small cottage surrounded by lush green trees and shrubs, flowers of every color imaginable outside your bedroom window, waking up to the rooster's crow and the heavenly smell of farm-fresh eggs and toast, with some bacon as well. Then getting out to greet your dog, Fluff McStuffins and feeding the chickens, Carla, Martha, Ruby, Rebecca, Katie, Mary and Jamie. And having done all that, getting ready to walk to to school 20 miles away with your best friend Johnny.
Or...
A small apartment building in the middle of a bustling metropolis, car horns sounding every five minutes, waking you up from your deep slumber, and finally jostling fully awake to the sound of your alarm, after hitting snooze probably 10 times too many. Reluctantly getting out of bed and going down to have breakfast ( A pop tart? A muffin? Burnt toast? ) And then finally getting down to drive to school 10 minutes away in your car, or car pooling with your 'bestie', potentially looking forward to or dreading the school day.
Well? Do forgive me for the stereotypical description but it is accurate to a certain extent, is it not?
People who live in the city and the countryside have different personalities, more often than not. That is caused by the vast difference of the places in which they live in. People living in the countryside tend to be a bit more grateful and satisfied to what they have as compared to the city goers. Of course, this is definitely not the case for everyone. Country and City life both have their pros and cons. For country life, it can be relaxing and peaceful compared to the hustle and bustle of regular city life. However, city life does have better transportation systems for its residents being able to get wherever they want to, in a small amount of time.
In the countryside, people living in the same community, will have closer knit connections with each other, and will bond and live together and treat each other like their own family. However, in city life, most of us don't bother to forge friendly bonds with even out neighbors. City life has more places to explore, with the convenience of getting to meet your friends anywhere to try new places, go to malls, attend events, watch a movie whenever you want and so much more. However country life is a bit restricted in those terms, with lesser facilities included.
Having said all this, I would definitely choose country life, because of its close knit communities and the fact that there will be no stranger in town. Small communities know everything about each other, which fosters a more homely spirit within residents living there. However, I think there would be a few problems in adjusting to countryside life, as everyone would too. When shifting to a new environment, I would feel a bit uncomfortable at first when adjusting to the lifestyle. However, I an eager for an opportunity to experience country life.
Well, what about you? City life or Country life?
