All of my life I have lived in Montgomery, well Montgomery's surrounding areas. For the first five years of my life i lived in Montgomery but then my family and I moved about 50 miles away from Montgomery, towards Tuskegee, to a place called Cotton Valley. So many times I have felt like I'm in this little bubble here where I live and that nothing really great goes on in Montgomery. But I have learned to love it over the past few years. I love how everything is pretty much about five minutes away and how its a kinda large city, but doesnt have that real industrial big city feeling. Montgomery has a small town feel to it and I have grown to love that. For a while all I wanted to do was get out of here because I felt trapped in this "little bitty nothing to do here town" but I have been able to see other cities and places around the world and I am thankful for a place like Montgomery.
I have had the opportunity to travel alot and I have never really come across another place like Montgomery. All the other cities I have been to are so so crowded and filled with that industrialized atmosphere. Now dont get me wrong, I LOVE traveling and going to those big cities like New York or London but I have noticed that the places I love the most that I travel to, are the smaller towns which remind me of where I am from. I was able to go to England last summer and loved London but the countryside of England is what I loved most about the trip. The Cotswald area is just breathtaking, and again, the small town feel stole my heart. I dont think i could live in a huge city like New York City, although I love it for a few days, after those few days I am ready to come back to Montgomery. I love the life long friends and my family that I have here, I have very much enjoyed growing up here.
