If I ever get the chance and the freedom to choose where I wanted to live, I already know the answer, and I assure you it definitely wouldn't be in an urban area. I love modernization, but one thing I can't take away from it is the crowd - there are just too many human beings, lol.
Given no fear of insecurity, no pressure about income, and no struggle for survival, I would still not choose an urban area.
I admit city life is quite exciting, at least from what I have heard from a few I know who live the “exciting city life"
They say it has convenience, life feels automated and updated, they say the city has a surge of electricity in the air, a burst of energy that pushes them to strive and hustle, steady grinding they call it (but if we are being honest that's just everyone in a huge competition trying to keep up with each other)
They say the urban is packed with people so it's easy to make connections and meet new people, you could turn left or right, whatever direction you get to meet people, (yeah, but not everyone is the same. I never told anyone I wanted to meet people every turn I make. I find that to be a very big threat to my internal and external peace)
In the city, everything is so lively and loud. And that's one of the problems I have, it's just too loud for me. I feel like the cities are built for people with high social batteries and extremely high tolerance for chaos.
The traffic, the crowd especially, urgh!
I am definitely not built for the city. I don't like overload, or madness. I love my sanity.
Although I would admit the city sometimes would feel peaceful for me, disregarding the noise, everyone moves at a fast pace, and mine is so different, I doubt I would be noticed, so I get to be alone.
On the other hand, I have rural areas. It seems to fit me perfectly, the peace, the trees, the fresh air and breeze, the peaceful mornings. It's almost everything I want.
But I don't want to be too lonely. And there are some things I don't think I can do without, like the Internet.
About being too lonely, I don't know if I should say I don't know exactly what I want. But I know I don't like stress, and still don't want to be away from humanity.
That leaves me with the sub-urbans, a nice balance between the rurals and Urbans—that's exactly where I would go.
A balanced life away from nuance, calm but not empty, we can just say a calm full life, lol. I don't know if what I am saying makes sense but that's how I feel.
Trying to express and say it might feel hard and make it look complicated and complex, but my choice of living is a very easy one; a peaceful life, with a peaceful place to live, with the world close by but not enough to steal my Peace.
