move out of this city

it wasn’t always like this here…growing up here was a nice experience…we were actually once voted #1 cleanest city in america! what a joke…i am typing as i just heard the gun shots going over my house…no i’m not in kabul…i’m in a crappy city in the south. i live constantly in fear here. just this morning there was a ROBBERY via gunpoint around the block from me at 8AM!!! (and i live in one of the “nicer” neighborhoods) i have had to buy a pistol and sleep with it next to my bed…loaded just in case a crackhead breaks into my house and tries to murder me. (this is NOT my style) people complain about cities because they are boring, unstylish or uneventful. i am craving this place…a place to relax and live my life. i want land and nature and animals and my husband. i don’t want to live life in fear anymore.
