    Hello everyone! I am unable to keep up with replying to my IG messages, but deeply enjoy reading them, thank you for all your beautiful stories. Feel free to ask questions here and I will update my comment with answers if I am able.
    - My name is Paola
    - I am located in Washington State, in the foothills of the beautiful Cascade mountains
    - I was a teacher, now turned full time artist, and hope to teach again post - pandemic
    - Yes, I am bilingual :) though my spelling isn’t so great in Spanish haha!
    - I do not own my cottage, I rent it.
    - I am not off grid, I unfortunately do not have the ability to take enough time off work to keep up a homestead nor am I knowledgeable enough to be successful. But I greatly admire those who do.
    - My main mission with the channel is to provide peaceful artistic videos and share with others the beauty of the natural world, and how important it is for us to do our part to preserve it. Learn more here: www.audubon.org/takeaction

      They only don't know your history. In a small town, you won't be anonymous for long. Realise that you will take yourself and your peculiarities with you to a new place. Start changing yourself, your environment can support that but won't change your inner self. You probably realise that, but I felt the need to share this.

    • @anupdev5845
      @anupdev5845 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      A new place gives you an opportunity to leave the past behind and start from scratch again. But you also have to be mindful of doing the right things once you start over or else you will be back in the same place after a few years. In a smaller town, everyone knows everyone and it's impossible to blend in or be anonymous for long. People naturally take more interest in your life there because they are all dependant on each other for survival. If you have a community centric attitude to do good for people without any commercial interest, then small town can be a real boon for you but a small town is not really a place to hide and be alone. You can't afford to piss off people here because there are only a handful of people who live here anyway.
      I am permanently shifting base from a mega city to a small village of 680 people in a few months. I lived in that village for a few months on rent over the last 2 years and have already come to know what living in a small place entails. It can be extremely rewarding but not in a way most city folks think.

    The beauty and the magic abundantly appear, her tender ways of steering do draw the senses near.
    The fragrance of the meadow, the humming of the bees caress the dreamy landscape and all the eye does see.
    Come join these wonderous travels across the lands of old and see the unspoilt beauty which nature for us holds.
