For someone who had been born and brought up in the city, an idyllic countryside might seem charming. But a few weeks spent in a charming countryside can make a city-bred yearn for the comforts, conveniences, hustle and bustle of the city. Someone who has spend most of their younger years in a peaceful countryside might yearn for a visit to the city. They might be dazzled initially by the sights that a vibrant city has to offer. But when they spend too much time copped up in their tiny apartments in the busy cities, they might yearn to go back to their home. Memories of the cool, fresh, and crisp air and the calming greenery of their countryside might make a busy city fall short in their eyes. There is no place like home. In the moments when you face a crisis, all thoughts and memories of home tend to flood your mind. I guess that’s because home is much more than just a place. It’s a feeling. It’s something that cannot be replaced.
