Very beautiful indeed. I live in North Wales and can relate to the little boring towns in winter but I can also sense a much stronger sense of community in these rural places. And Nature is always so healing...

I struggle sometimes with the community here, it‘s not as easy to connect with others when they‘re rooted deeply with their local friends. But maybe that‘s a cultural thing here in Austria. I make more random acquaintances in cities abroad..
It takes energy for sure to make these connections. I have been around for 6 years and you have to find some threads and follow them through. It is not easy. In big cities, here or abroad, I find that the people I am connecting with are most of the time just passing by, and even though the relationships might have been strong, the grounding doens't have the same kind of sustainibility.
I feel that these places are harder to fit into but once you are in, it feels like it more real.
