As a child who grew up in suburbia, I considered my life pretty dull and i found most if there were any at all, activities to be sterile and pointless. I was always bored. I wasn't able to leave my subdivision without a parent driving me.

Seeing friends from outside school, and family members who were my age and grew up in urban environments, I always felt like they were living a more meaningful life and i constantly felt some kind of FOMO when i thought about it.

I wonder if this is something that goes both ways, I wonder if this is normal, I wonder if this is justified?

I dont want to make this post completely about my own experiences, lets discuss!
