Two of my friends have said that they “just want some land and grow some vegetables” which also comes off as more than a bit misanthropic. It’s such a weird fantasy that suburban Americans have.

My dad has a cabin in Appalachia and I won't lie being there by myself are some of my best memories. I think some of it is my life is very loud, I work retail so people are constantly screaming at me, my parents are narcissists who are constantly screaming at me, most of my partners were short tempered so they always screamed at me. Nobody screams at me in the woods. Maybe I am a bit of a misanthrope, I don't know.

I'm not delusional about being able to live totally off the grid there though. If nothing else the soil sucks.
