Flecks of Varied Colors

What did you like / dislike about where you grew up?
What do you like / dislike about where you live now?

he place I live in right now is totally different from my original hometown. With the fact that I currently live in a city while my birth place is in a hinterland located in a remote mountainous area of the province, the differences are extremely apparent. In there you can see tall trees and mountains while here are towering buildings and some skyscrapers. There you can see a clean river flowing rapidly while here you'll see streets with slow moving traffic. There you can see birds flying gracefully beneath the azure while here you will see planes. There you can hear the sweet songs of cicadas during dusk time while here you will hear the bustling sounds of motor vehicles throughout the day and night. There you have plenty of time to do exercise as walking is our only way to go to distant places while here are mostly done with cars. There, neighbors are working and helping each other while here aren't.

         With all that being said, having lived in both types of community has helped me point out some things that I like and things I don't like while I stayed on either of which. To give you a clearer picture, I'd like to enumerate them below:



         Well honestly, it's too hard for me to decide on which place I would prefer to stay and live. But with my status quo, I'd choose to live in the city. After all, my work place is here and so is my life's partner. Which will you choose?

         Thank you for reading this. Cheers!
