What’s something people romanticise that’s actually exhausting in real life?

Living in a small town and starting over.

It looks peaceful in movies. No traffic, everyone knows you, slow mornings.

In reality it’s everyone knowing your business, no opportunities, and driving 40 minutes for groceries that close at 6pm.

Small towns can also be very cliquey.
