[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758571, member: 18958"] Hi Beta I am glad to hear some of the details. I think I can relate. I live in a podunk place, too. And I have never seen or experienced myself as that, nor sought out people I experienced as that. Even with typing that, I feel a loss. I am an urban person born in a big city, and always loving big metropolises and nearly always living in big cities, and needing urbane people. Yet, I have been living for almost 12 years in a small city in the "exurbs" where it sounds like you are too. Here, there is NOTHING that I needed in terms of how I lived my life. But now I feel at peace here.. What are here are dozens and dozens of churches, gyms, and auto suppy stores. That's it. But I'm here, and that has made it home. All of that said, after a dozen years, what has deepened is both my faith and my relationship with myself. When all there is to do is, is NOTHING I have bumped into myself and gone deeper. I am in a position where I could move, but now my life is here. It may not be in fancy restaurants or cafes or stores or the activities I thought sustained me, such as going to art classes, but my life now is far more centered at home. I don't think I need so much the diversions as I thought I did. The access to external things, was not such a strong need afterall. I am glad you gave us the update. [/QUOTE]
