In the little town where I’m from, things calm down after nightfall. I find myself wondering why so much of this place’s life revolves around only a handful of locations. You visit the same diner, the same high school football field, or the same gas station if you want to see people. Everyone ends up in the same places since there aren’t many options.
The setting is a small village with even fewer chances. Businesses that aren’t well-known don’t last long, and anything new is viewed with mistrust. The routine might be comforting, but it can also seem boring. When I have nothing to do on the weekends and nowhere fresh to go, I’ve found myself wondering why things never change. Environment is important to each individual because it shapes your identity and how you view yourself. If nothing ever changes how can people grow or strive to discover new things.
