Believe me, I miss it too. I actually grew up in a big city, moved to a rural area for work, and then had to move back to that same big city. Crowding, noise, smells, terrible commutes - all the bad stuff about city living that I just took for granted before bothers me constantly now. I fantasize about being back on my own land with my own house, my own pickup truck, my own trees, and no strangers. All the people I care about are in the big city, they refuse to leave, and ultimately being close to them is more important to me, but I really wish they were country folk.
I grew up in a more rural area than where I live now, and I miss the quiet and the stillness. And of course the space.
The tinnitus though… It’s so quiet I can’t hear anything but ringing.

Good ol’ tinnitus taps might help.

I feel the same way. Maybe that’ll be a retirement plan for me, if I can’t make it work sooner.
I also worry about stuff like air quality, and studies that show that constant ambient noise isn’t good for you.
