I used to live in a small town and now live in the suburbs. I do miss it some days but then there are days that I remember that I'd spend a good portion of my day trying to get the basics taken care of such as driving 30 miles to a Costco or ordering a car part and waiting several days for it to show up since I didn't want to pay extra for shipping. However I also remember how peaceful it was and how close the community felt. If you're wondering what it's like I'd say go for it and try something new, just bring yourself and your things but try to be open to how they do things there too. The only way you'll find out if you like it is to try it. Good luck!

Edit: Something interesting that I found along the way is that I do like small towns and I do like the city. I found that when I start to notice that feeling of "it's all too much" that I need to go do something physical instead of sitting at a computer or scrolling on my phone. So maybe that's go wash the dishes, or maybe that's go for a walk or bike ride, the key being that I need to balance my time between the digital world and physical world as much as possible to feel good about myself.

My fave is people giving me advice about my recently-purchased 1950 Ford 8N. They didn't know I actually have some rural experience with tractors. Everybody has a story about someone they know maimed/killed by them. Especially surrounding the PTO, which duh, it's heavy machinery.
