When asked about my opinion of Rapid City, I don't typically have much to say. Many teenagers in particular would have negative opinions, I believe this is because they feel limited living here. For example, I don't particularly love living here. That being said, I don't think Rapid City is a bad place to live. For me, I don't enjoy being here because I have many more places I'd like to see and experience. I want to see as much of the world as I can, and as I've grown and established more individuality within myself, I've come to develop preferences. For instance, I would prefer to live somewhere warm, with a beach near by, and a larger spectrum of things to do. I believe you grow as a person the more you travel, and I constantly chase that feeling of growth. So no, I don't hate Rapid, but I don't want to be here either.
Rapid city is a comfortable place, far from lots of the crime and terror and danger of larger cities such as Los Angeles. The people here are generally very similar to one another, and it has an almost small town feel. There are a few things to do, and the nature of the black hills is beautiful. Really, I actually do love the hills. I think they are a hidden gem. As for the rest of South Dakota, I don't have much to say because there isn't much out there. I understand why older adults like it here, they have already experienced much of their life, and have chosen to be here. For many young people like myself, we haven't experienced that necessary freedom needed for growth. I think Rapid city is a good place to grow up and raise a family, it is safe and respected.
I could never hate it here, simply because its home, and its the first place I've started my journey to personal growth. That being said, I would pack my bags and leave tomorrow if i could because I'm ready for much more. Some places are just a stepping stone in life to find where you need to be, and Rapid isn't the worst one.
