So I live in a (relatively) big city now. I'm always fascinated by the (social) super structure that is a city, and also by public transport inside cities. I like how life here never stops. You can find things to do at all hours of the day. I like all the weird and strange things the city has to offer.

It also has it's downsides. It gets busy, polluted, dirty and noisy. There's an airbnb close to my appartment and the guests party til 6 in the morning sometimes, on weekdays. If you complain, people say 'you live in a big city, what do you expect?' like it's the normal thing to do. I miss nature sometimes.

I think I'll eventually move to a village. Preferably at sea. But to be young in a city is a blessing at the moment.

small town that orbit a big city, u get the best of all worlds, small towns are less crowded, less noisy, less dirty, has enough nature in it but no so much annoying critters like mosquitoes, rats and cockroaches. have access to local fresh produce and when if u meed something only available in a big city, since it is close u can go.

but because of the nature of my job (programmer), most jobs are available only in big cities, so i want to live in one and have access to culture and my nerdy shit
