Small town blues

As far back as I can remember, I have felt suffocated by this place. Once I graduated highschool I always thought I’d get out of here and find where my fit was. Fast forward to now, I never did leave. At 34 years old, I’ve only ever lived here. It’s just never felt like home. If you’ve left North bay and are thriving elsewhere where did you end up ? If you’ve wanted to leave but haven’t, what kept you here ?
