Phrase: In the middle of nowhere
Sometimes, the best place to be is in the middle of nowhere.
Life can get too crazy if you live in a big city; there’s too much happening, and from time to time, people need to get away from it all.
One of the best places to find quiet is, well, in the middle of nowhere, which is far away from all civilization, such as towns or cities.
I try to look on the bright side of things, so I don’t think being far away from people is such a bad thing, but it depends on the situation.
If your car breaks down and you have no phone reception, it is terrible.
Depending on where you break down, it could also be dangerous.
I’ll leave you with a piece of advice for today – if you are driving through the middle of nowhere, ensure your car is in tip-top condition.
