After living in a big city for my whole life, moving to the countryside is quite a strange change.

Though I do live in a town (18,000 people live here), it is completely different. I walked home from the movies tonight, in the dead center of town, and it was completely silent. No cars, no people, nothing.

In the place I consider home, if you stepped outside, even in the middle of ‘suburbia’, there would be a ruckus of cars, sirens, train whistles from miles away, airplanes, and a cacophony of other noises. It’s comforting, hearing sound. It means that there are people carrying on with their busy lives all around you.

Here, it’s quiet. Some people like that, but I guess I’m just too much of a city girl.

Yep.  She’s my daughter.  Heh.  I know you are jealous.
