Why is everyone romanticizing moving to the countryside these days?
I feel like everywhere I look, people are saying they want to leave the city and move to the countryside. They imagine a quiet life with fresh air, a garden, some chickens, and peace. I grew up in a village, and honestly.. it’s not that simple.
Living in the countryside means work every single day. There are always things to fix, animals to feed, grass to cut, wood to carry and a MILLION other chores. it’s beautiful, but it’s definitely not an endless vacation.
I still love village life, but I think social media only shows the pretty side and ignores how much effort it takes.
Are you on the “I’d love to move” or “it’s much harder that people think” side?
