RE: Where Time Walks Slowly [EN/PT]
I can relate to your experience so much. I spent my childhood and teenage years in a small town, which is very different from the large, industrial city I live in today.
Life in my hometown was much slower and more peaceful. It had both forests and the sea, and I still carry many beautiful memories of those days. But, just like you described, opportunities for work and education were limited, healthcare facilities were insufficient, and we didn't have a well-equipped hospital.
For these reasons, many people eventually move to bigger cities in search of better job opportunities, education, and access to better services.
I've grown to love the city I live in now, too, but there's always a special place in my heart for my hometown.
I hope you're happy and content with the place you call home today, wherever that may be.🌻
Thank you! I love my hometown very much. I still visit from time to time because my mother and my entire family still live there. I must admit that I've gotten used to the pace of city life, and I can hardly see myself living there again. Well, maybe I'll buy a little house there to spend my old age someday. :)
I totally understand! You know, we really do get used to the pace of city life, and sometimes it's hard to readjust to the much slower and quieter rhythm of a small town, even when it's the place we grew up in.
But still I think it's wonderful to have a place like that to return to, especially when your family is still there. I truly hope that little dream comes true someday! 😊
