23 Things Only Small Town People Understand

The dream of most teenagers is to finish high school and move to a bigger city.

But you might end up staying there, and that’s okay.

The places where you find the known people are usually the market…

shaken…

The only one that persists over time, or the ones that open and close 3 months later.

… and on a Sunday stroll in the main square or avenue.

You even try to avoid it, but you always stop by.

In fact, it’s hard for someone not to know each other, because they always have a mutual friend.

It also makes you let go of certain stereotypes if you want to be with someone, as your options are limited.

remember is a reality in the absence of ~new opportunities~

But that doesn’t mean you’re immune to gossip.

For people from the big city: Zé Povinho.

And you begin to wonder why they don’t do the BBB in your city at once

There’s only a party once a week, there are several groups, there’s always bullshit.

The two main groups are the youngest and the oldest

Those who are young think that the older ones just want to ban everything, and the older people think these people from the club are too transgressive.

The lost people – usually between 25 and 35 years old – still don’t know whether to marry or buy a bicycle

That saying can be quite literal on the inside.

One reality is that any tattoo/piercing/hair coloring makes you a rebel of the city

Another thing you know very well is the local cuisine

Especially because you found out that McDonald’s and many other famous fast food chains ask for a minimum population to open a franchise

At this point, you find yourself following the city census on a regular basis.

But that’s ok, since the city certainly has at least one amazing bakery, a wonderful pizzeria and several places with portions of fries.

Not to mention that, practically, all the food is in greater quantity, better quality and lower price than in a capital city.

And the hour and a half lunch break is a reality

You can even take a nap.

In your city, you only know the name of about 10 streets

After all, it’s much easier to explain that your house is close to the church square or school X, isn’t it?

If you are part of the group that left, you are certainly counting the days until the next holiday with your family and friends.

The good part is that everything now lasts a maximum of four days.

And if you stayed, can’t wait for your friends who moved abroad to pay you a visit

Hearing the stories, seeing some new tattoos, and sometimes wondering what you’re even doing there.

You know that the city is growing from the moment there is traffic at specific times and points

And start to wonder where you were when the population increased

But fast food that’s good, nothing!

After all, the city still has more houses than buildings and you can see the limit that nature forms around

Come to think of it, being from here isn’t that bad

After all, when you need to relax and spend time with nature, you don’t have to go far.

It’s just back to being home
