@gwync@mastodon.coffee @tom@labyrinth.social Our eyes were bright and our souls hopeful when we decided to leave our small rural homes in self hosted forums and migrate to the big cities run by corporations. We were so amazed at the lights and the music we didn't see the people dying in the streets.
Oh, how I wish I never abandoned my original little town. If only I had come back every now and then to keep contact with my friends and repair the house... now it is all in ruins. And we have to rebuild from scratch.

This is legitimately causing me real feelings for a past that I did love at the time, but hadn’t cast it into an emotive context.

@delawen@floss.social "I think I know now what's Makin me sad, It's a yearnin for my own back yard. I realize maybe I was wrong to leave, Swallow up my silly country pride. Take me home, Carry me home, Down to Gasoline Alley where I was born" -Rod Stuart I'm really enjoying how well this song synchs up with the sentiment you are exploring.
