Intro to my home town

Clearfield County, a small town where everyone knows everyone,  I am sure any viewers reading this can relate, But what I feel makes Clearfield different is that for how small it is,you forget about the world outside and that there's so much more than this little town with its big problems. this little town and its community tend to act as an illusion of "this town is all there is" that this little town is some residents view of the world, it reminds me of 'The Simpsons Movie' where Springfield is enclosed in this dome and cut off from the rest of the world and its strictly just Springfield by its self. the residents of Clearfield, including myself block ourselves from remembering that there is more than this little town, a whole world out there to experience and I find just from observing my surroundings and people of Clearfeld that there is this mindset of "There is nothing else but this little town, no other opportunities , I've seen and experienced all that I could so why try to better myself when there is nothing else" but really there is this beautiful and huge world to explore, and yet we all blocked ourselves off from it. There's a bar on every corner, a church on every street and I guarantee there is a trap house in every neighborhood. With this mindset of "its just this little town", residents lean on alcohol,drugs, or religion for them to escape from this illusion they created.
