Ugh, so true. I was born and raised in a smallish town (like big enough we still had a lot of stuff, but small enough that pretty much everyone knew everyone) and moved out to Chicago for school. Spent a good decade there and once school was done I pretty much only stayed for friends and my ex. I'm so averse to large amounts of people and no matter where you go in Chicago there's soooo many people. Even the far out suburbs are just jammed with people. Even though I was having fun being punky and partying and shit, it all wore on me. Even though I had to move back in with my parents in my late 20s, I'm glad to be back home.
