One day I want to escape

Deleted User

I want to believe there are still places in the world that haven't been ruined or filled with teeming housing projects, urban blight and endless stretches of tarmac and grey.  I hope to be able to go live in one of these places in the future and find some sort of peace.  Either as part of a small community or with significant others who feel as I do.  As such I developed an interest in sustainability and self sufficiency.  Though it sounds naive, I like urban life a little less each time I'm exposed to it.

  • I can't stand towns and cities. I live in a village. If you have a partner it is a nice place to live, but meeting someone special is hard. You will at least know your neighbours though.

    You need to be more careful about isolating yourself as it becomes easy to hide. I did for 20 years.

    But it is peaceful and I hear the birds, the church bells and see more nature.

    How did you stop hiding? I hide bc its where I feel safe and my nervous system can rest. Also because I dont have a spouse-was never married so no immediate family...at 52 y/o I am alone bc of that no matter where I go and reaching out to try and make connections more often than not leaves me feeling even more lonely bc I never feel I can quite connect the way people want me to.
