This keeps coming up on my feed and I just have to comment. From someone who grew up in a very small town in Michigan, I feel you. But as someone who grew up and was able to move out of that small town, I've got to tell you that it gets better when you decide it gets better. That's it, you can take @kleinbl00 's advice to heart or not. But it's eventually going to be your choice to make it better. Good luck out there, it's hard but if you can keep away the monsters of cynicism you'll do fine and eventually get what you want. Because this has me thinking about small towns, here is Lou Reed and John Cale's "Smalltown" which, in my opinion, perfectly describes what it's like to be weird in a small town.
