Thanks Hometown, But It's Time We Broke Up

I have lived in my small east coast town for 20 years. For 20 years I have lived in the same house with the same smell and the same yard. For 20 years I have walked down the streets of my neighborhood looking at the same houses, greeting the same people, walking the same route. For 20 years I have lived in a town full of people and all of us have made this same town our home. For the past 20 years I have grown far too big for tiny hometown, and because of that it’s time I moved away.

Dear hometown,

Here are 10 reasons I no longer wish to call you home.

1.Your lack of culture and diversity is enough to shock anyone.

Why does everyone like being the same?

2. The wait at Olive Garden is longer than a wait at the DMV.

"It will take an hour or so for a table"

3 hours later...

3.The amount of fast food restaurants rivals the amount of interruptions during the presidential debate.

Around the corner is McDonald's, Burger King, Sonic, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-a, Wendy's, Boston Market, Popeyes, Roy Rodgers, and a KFC.

4. Almost all of my friends have already broken up with you.

Guess it's time I moved on too.

5. People love Walmart more than Kanye loves himself.

And Kanye loves Kanye more than anything.

6. Bring you tractor to school day has more participants than a 80’s pep rally.

Yes that is a real day.

7.The Monster truck show is the biggest event of the year.

Everyone and their grandmother goes.

8. No one even knows where you are located.

You try to explain and yet they still have no idea.

9.I can’t walk on your streets at night without fearing for my life.

Just keep walking, don't make eye contact.

10. You were my home once, but it's time I said goodbye.

I loved you once, but we have to break up.
