One of the things I deeply miss is sleeping under the stars. I grew up in a tiny rural town, and we used to have long power cuts during summer. I am talking like more than 9 hrs every day. During nights, we used to sleep on terrace to stay cool. I don’t miss the power cuts, but I also miss those uncomplicated days.

Now a days, I feel like we are living in a unholy mix of Cyberpunk, Orwellian and Kafkaesque dystopia.

I don't know where you live, but this is very much still doable now. It all depends on your location. If you'd actually like to live somewhere like that, try looking for towns with 10k or less people. It might take a while, but eventually you'll find one you like

You misunderstand. Sure, sleeping under the stars was fun. I also distinctly remember being assaulted by mosquitoes. It was not all sunshine and rainbows. I am working on buying a house and small farm land in a village near the city I live in.

I took this to mean, that you deeply missed it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

What I meant was I just miss those days of not worrying. It is just expressed as missing sleeping under the stars. I am trying to find a better balance between urban and rural living. It is not as easy though.

That's for sure. Especially in places like North America, where the "missing middle" is very prevalent.

I hope you find a place your happy in!
