I think there are people who really love the comfort of their small town, and there are people who feel stuck by it.

You have to move in life, but the loyalty you develop in a community is always remembered. But if you leave, you don't pick it up in the next town. It's not an add-on, you know, because you lose what you had.

A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't.

I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left right after high school.

I left the Midwest when I was twelve years old, and I haven't lived in a small town since.

I feel like, big city or small town, you can relate to following your parents' footsteps or putting your own dreams on the back burner or vices that we get caught up in - that whole cycle. That's not just a small-town thing. That's a life thing.

As someone who has moved around a fair amount, I wondered what it would be like to stay rooted to one place, one community.

Especially for me, growing up in such a small town in the middle of nowhere, the desire to be away was incredible. I wanted to see new lands, meet new people from the city, and meet people that were in much less fortunate situations than I was, so that I could be more appreciative of my present. At least I had food on the table.

I think it's great to grow up in a small town because you're just dying to break loose.

I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.
