This Town

I live in a small town, it's not Mayberry small, but it's small nonetheless. I have dreams to move on to a bigger city (Boston) and in a sense a bigger world. I have always thought it was strange that in a small town where there are less people spaced farther apart, everyone knows eachother's business, but in a city were there are more people packed extremely close together, they don't know a thing about the person sitting next to them on the bus, even though they see them every day. Usually more people means less privacy but in this case not so much. People tell me that more than likely I'll come back home to raise a family but I doubt it. These are the same people that told me I would miss the protective high school bubble when I was thrust into the "real" world. I doubt that too. I'm a different person than most of the teenagers seen today, hence the name of the blog. I don't think I'll ever live in this town after I graduate from college but I always will consider it home. Unless my parents move.
