Wherever you go, whatever you do, you can always be more unrecognizable; nobody really cares about your family affairs, your reletionships or just the way you live. That is why you are able to be more creative, and enhance your self- esteem unlike the small town where the so- called community- eye tracks down every step your take making you feel more self- conscious.
