    Who is this “everyone”? Because this ain’t even remotely my dream.

    1. House needs to be in the mountains
    2. Fuck lawns
    3. I don’t have this many friends (by choice)
    4. If I did, I wouldn’t want to be in this close of proximity to them
    5. This place probably has an HOA which is a big fat NOPE

      Im with you. I’d love my 2 best friends and my sibling to live next to us, but im surrounded by woods and farmers and I very much like it that way. Yall can keep your suburban mcmansion cul-de-sac, life in the holler is much nicer.

      I got to play with baby goats all yesterday morning 💜

        Your life is a dream. Daily real connection to the world and the creatures that make it great.

        Our yard is wild and I let it run loose, with only some control. The southeast is getting old though. I’m a northerner that yearns for the snow and mountains again.

          Id tell you to come to the Blue Ridge but the winters already aren’t what they used to be. It’s a damn shame. I grew up in South Florida till I moved here so I LOVED WINTER.

          Nowadays February is just gross.

          I still love it here but with the sadness of seeing a friend quietly die.

      There’s one guy I want to hang out with regularly. He can have the adjoining 150 acres and we’ll put a shack full of liquor with some comfy chairs on the border.

        That’s a valuable thing to hold onto. Everyone needs and deserves companionship.

        My wife is my best friend. We both work from home, so we spend like 90% of our time together.
