A Small, Country Princess in a Big City

Once upon a time there was this little, country Princess that lived in a big city. She had live in the country or at least in a small town all her life and thought it would be neat to move to the big city because of all the adventures that she could have in the city. She spent about 2 years there and decided she really didn't like it as much as the country. The city was fine but when she was able to go out to the country she felt like a child. She could dance in the rain puddles on gravel roads, walk in the woods, fish in the pond, and all the things you could do outdoors. There was nobody around but the people you knew and you wouldn't get lost so easily. She became close to the people she was around. She didn't have all these different people that she felt like she had to hang out with. There was some good in the city but it stressed her out a lot. She just had this feeling and it was a happy feeling when she was in country everything was right with the world. She loved hanging outdoors instead of a coffee shop or the movies. She loved the simple things she grew up with even though she didn't know that at the time. She tried to make things harder in the city because she felt like she had to be a strong girl to get around the city and get to know people. She would go back to the simple things in her quite time and enjoy them by herself. She really wanted someone to enjoy these things with but there was no one with her. No one to dance with her in the rain puddles, watch the lighting shows, or walk in the woods. She started to go to tractor pulls again by herself and has been wanting to go to a rodeo by herself or with someone. She always listens to that country music or goes back and forth from that to Christian. She has this dream of a perfect family and being a stay at home mom with the children while her husband goes off to work whether just at a store or with his own bussiness. This is all that this little, country girl desired in her heart. This was her simple dream but yet it seemed so far off. She gave up and moved to the city and worked at a job forgetting who she really was deep down and her true desires. Thinking that she was going to get that adventure that she always wanted but really she didn't. It was harder living in the city because she had to hold a standard or that is how she felt. She had to hide that country girl within her and she didn't like it. She missed living out in the country, the peacefulness, the outdoors, and other things. She missed those sunrises and sunsets and being outside when it would rain every time. She missed seeing the clear night sky because the lights would get in the way and the lighting bugs during the summer. She missed being able to run around a yard and trying to catch them to put them in a jar. She wasn't the type for big companies and not being able to spend time with her family and friends. The people that she cared about the most and some of them didn't even know that. She missed not being around her family that often. Time was the most important thing to her and not just any time but quality time and she couldn't get that in a big city where everything was busy all the time. Where there was no break to talk. Where everyone just had to leave for work or keep working so they could stay home and just sit down to talk. She almost forgot what the country really felt like until she went back to a friends' house that was out in the country when she was a grown up. She let her daughter look into the chicken pen along with her sons where she use to pick the eggs from and let her climb the gate that led them into the woods to the barn. Her daughter even climbed the gate to the chicken pen to get a closer look. She missed the deer eating in her backyard and seeing them every morning. She needed a country prince to come and save her from this big mess that she called "the city" so she wouldn't have to keep fighting for her own life by herself. The big city and her did not get along. A small, country Princess should not live in a big city.
