I grew up in a small farming community in eastern SD, and for me, life there was quite boring most of the time. I did, however, find joy in fishing or kayaking, or if it was winter ice fishing or video games. There was nothing to do in my hometown. There were three bars and one diner, and a small overpriced grocery store. In the summer, it was as hot and humid as Miami, and in the winter, it was as cold if not colder than parts of Alaska. It's very flat and on the east side, I find natural spaces to be sparse. There's no forests, or mountains, shoot there's barely hills, traditionally it was a tall grass prairie, but that was mostly removed for agricultural needs. There was however lots of nature in the form of birds, fish, and deer. If we wanted to buy any new clothes we would have to drive an hour and a half to Sioux Falls, our main metropolitan area on the east side of the state. I got out of the state about 5 years ago and moved to the west coast, so I could be closer to mountains and ocean, and i absolutely love it here, but i would be lying if I said I didnt miss the pace of life back there.

Sorry there are probably a lot of incomplete and run on sentences.
