Both living in a farm and a city have pros and cons, however, your own life style   determines the place that’s most suitable for you. Living in a farm is surely physically beneficial. For instance, the food is healthier, the air is cleaner and farm work will give you a healthier body. On the other hand, when you live in a city, you are going to face many problems that will leave your body in a bad condition. Examples of that are: processed food, air and water pollution. Psychologically, living closer to nature will leave a good effect on your spirit and state of mind. It will give you the opportunity to meditate and enjoy the simple joys of life. Life in the city, however, tends to be a lot more stressing. City people often feel trapped between walls and overwhelmed with tasks. In terms of entertainment, it barely exists in farms. If you don’t enjoy riding horses and reading books you will have to be creative and create your own means of entertainment. In cities on the contrary, there is a variety of choices of entertainment. Television, internet, malls, amusement parks, restaurants and coffee shops are examples.

What I Hate about my self


       One thing I consider a flaw in my character is taking life too seriously. When I commit to something I become so hard on myself. As a result, my brain stops being creative. I also can’t be enthusiastic about it anymore. Instead, I feel trapped in my own head. Because I get so involved in myself, I forget the ones I love and the ones in need only thinking of myself. I am planning to change that by spending more time with the people around me having fun and offering help. In addition, whenever I see myself really stressed out over something, I will look around me and enjoy the simple gifts in life.
