Dear Hometown,
About a year ago, I left you to move to the big city to begin college and start my life. While it is nice in the city and I have plenty of things to do there, you will forever hold a place in my heart and will be my forever home.
It's funny how I couldn't wait to leave you my senior year of high school. I, like most people, was so tired of living in such a small town where everyone knows everyone. I was annoyed at the fact that nothing major could happen without the whole town finding out about it within half an hour. Not only that, I was ready to get some place where there would actually be many fun things to do, whereas there were not many things to do there. However, after spending some time in the big city, I have learned to appreciate your relaxed atmosphere. I'm grateful to have had close relationships with everyone in town, including my schoolteachers and co-workers. You have given me something that no other town could ever replace
In conclusion, while I do enjoy living in the city, I have learned to appreciate you so much since I have been at college. No matter how much I think I may not like living in you, I always miss you when I leave. Thank you for all the wonderful things you have given me. No matter where I may end up in life, you will always be my forever home. I for sure will never forget you and always be thankful to have grown up in you.
All my love,
One Happy Small Town Girl
