Getting Used To It

Most people have always thought that changing their usual habits can be pretty challenging. One of them can be changing the place you live, like moving out of your house to live in another neighborhood, city or even a country.
I’ve been living in the countryside for about five years. What was I doing before those five years? I was living in a city just like most of the people I know. This was a sudden change in my life. My parents suddenly decided to ‘have a vacation’ that eventually turned into a ‘living there’. My grandparents were living in a farm far away from the city. The closest city was about three hours away. This meant you couldn’t go to supermarkets that often. When we first moved into the little farm, it felt really different from my usual life. Our old house was close to everything. Walk less than a kilometer there are markets, restaurants, clothing stores etc. But here, there’s nothing. Only fields, farmlands and some small houses far away. You had to take long journeys to go to the closest market. This was a little hard for me for the first few weeks. But my grandparents changed my mind.
At first, I didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t even want to get up. I was just so bored and annoyed because of my parent’s decision. The telephone service was out almost all day. My grandparents realized this and tried to make me learn new things. The first thing that they made me do was hoeing the field. it was really hard for me to do this but now it’s one of my daily chores and I actually like to do it. When it was time for dinner to be made my parents told me to fetch some vegetables from the garden. At first, I didn’t understand what they meant. Was there a fridge outside? I asked my grandma for help and she showed me the garden. There were multiple plants, veggies, fruits and more. My grandma showed me how to pick the right one. After an hour, we came to the kitchen and my mother made a great biggie soup with all the stuff. When everything was cooked, I tasted the soup and it was delicious. At that moment I realized that maybe it was fun to actually live like this. As days passed, I learned new stuff that I had never even heard of.
Now, I’m happy that I live at a place like this. Even though at first it seems hard, when you get used to it by trying your best, you can enjoy it.
