nature isn't as bad as people; you can atleast try to prepare of it.

out in the middle of nowhere, people can and do make sure that you can't prepare for them.

Humans need a good balance but many just want to see if grass is greener on other side.

this makes the most sense to me because that's what i did. life had taught me that being queer, autistic and brown is boring AF in urban enough environments; but it REALLY makes those hens gossip in the country side and the ppl forcing you to conform because they refuse accept your true expression of yourself is a prison of its own. to make matters worse: that 1 factory; 4 MASSIVE beef & pork farms; and plantation that employ 80% of the population will fuck up your air & water worse than the city thanks to a friendly local government that gives them passes. having to drive 5 hours to the nearest water source, to spend another 2 hours filling up, and then another 5 hour drive back every month is galling when there's a natural stream nearby that the local gov't makes illegal to take from.

i wanted to see if the grass was greener in the core of several cities and found that, yes, very much so for someone like me.
