This city is unique in that people wish to leave
it is a small town where gossip spreads at the speed of light
and it can be tough to escape the negatives of the past.
The irony is that as one grows older and struggles to provide for themselves and their family,
to be happy, and to enjoy the simple things in life,
this small town finds methods to entice one away
from the negative and back to the positive.
How, one would wonder, does it help one forget the negative even for a moment?

Simple things like the fact that everyone knows just about everyone
and that at least one person out there will be willing and kind enough to help them in whatever way they can.
The day coming and going with the sun rising and setting,
nature and the animals within it surrounding the town's people making them a part of the world not just someone living on it,
lake and mountain views that make them forget
about the negatives and stress allowing them
to focus on the good and beauty in the small things in life.
The small-town city's ability to provide
quiet, comfort, and support
when needed is what makes
the people who live there never want to leave.
