Utopia

I want to live in a little town. In a place where I would know all my neighbors, where I can take walks outside at any time, night or day, without having to worry about my safety or people talking about me. I want to live in a little town where I can have my privacy and have people who understand me. I want to live in a town where there's a local diner that I could go to for my morning coffee, and where I could hang out in with whoever I want. I want to live in a town where I won't be judged by the things I wear, or by the way I look, or by who I go out with; where it doesn't matter if I have girl friends and guyl friends. I want to live in a town away from bureaucracy, where my name won't get me special treatment.

I might sound like an idealist, with an idea of a utopian society that doesn't exist, but it does. It exists in my head. It's my safe place when I want to get away from everything around me. I'd like to think that someday, somewhere, there would be a real place like the one in my mind that I could actually go to and enjoy life the way I want to.
