    I love near a metropolitan city, so I feel like the world kind of comes to me. And each passing year my small town becomes more and more diverse, along with my work and friend groups.

    Obviously not the same as going somewhere with different history and culture, but I feel like my cup is full. Like, I’m good for pleasures. 👍🏻

      I understand that, but it can’t actually be literally true. Wherever you live, even if it’s the literal belly button of the world, you won’t notice what all people that pass through your town or live in your town have in common until you go outside and see what living without that thing you have in common is like. And thanks to that, you’ll get a deeper appreciation of what makes your town your home.

      It’s not like tech: once you see a new technology at the store you won’t want to go back to your own crappy technology at home. It’s more like reading a book in the same genre, it will only make you appreciate what you love about your favourite more.
