The Millennial urge to get off the grid.

Grow an edible garden,

live in a tiny home. Have two cats,

three dogs, and of course, chickens

for their organic eggs.

If you’re really posh, you could have

your own Bee Hive. Organic honey.

    It's interesting to see the shift/paradox of wanting city life to feel connected and wanting to escape completely. Definitely relatable for many living in a post-pandemic world.
