Small towns aren’t where dreams go to die. Plenty of big lives started on streets like yours.

Places collect reputations that have very little to do with the people living in them. Plenty of what you admire was started by somebody on a street that looked exactly like yours, with the same bus timetable and the same short list of options. Where you begin sets the first few steps and almost nothing after that.

Find out about one person from your area who did something you find interesting. Knowing it is possible from here changes your planning more than any amount of general encouragement.
