I left my hometown for about 8 years right after high school. I was here for about 8ish months last year, went back to Thailand for 4.5 months, and now back in my hometown for the past 3 months. Luckily, I should be back in BKK in a month or two.
My hometown is a small, piece of shit white trash mountain town. I am convinced that anyone with any brains or ambition left here long ago, and the only people who stick around are here because they are crazy/complete fuckups. I think the rate of borderline personality disorder in the 20-30 year old female demographic has to be through the fucking roof. The amount of drama and insanity that happens here is alarming.
So yes, I understand what you are feeling. I have a love-hate relationship with my hometown. Love being FROM here, but not actually being here. Luckily, I will be gone soon enough, and won't be coming back. I made a mistake in getting trapped here again. Won't be doing that anymore.
