>>112701267I used to live in Dearing, GA, which now has a population of 537. As long as your tiny town is near a bigger town or city, it's really not that bad. You still have internet and television, and you can easily know literally everyone or absolutely no one (but actually be left alone, unlike in a suburb or urban area where you don't know anyone but everyone is up your ass).
I've lived in the megacity that is SoCal, spent a little time in San Francisco, and now I live in San Antonio, TX. The super rural areas are definitely less active, but you find other ways of entertaining yourself. Maybe that's why city kids are always so damn boring - you're so overloaded with options, you never develop much of an imagination to create fun with.
In my life, I have had the opportunity to walk to any number of major museums, restaurants, music venues, etc., and also sat around a fire I built myself under the stars far enough away from people so that I can actually see the milky way in its entire glory. The world is more beautiful than anything we'll ever make, especially since all we seem to want to make anymore is boring glass-and-concrete coffins, pretending the vapid sentimentalism of "culture" we fill them with were lives worth having lived.
