Summary

This quote suggests that leaving one's hometown or small town is often driven by a desire for something beyond the limited opportunities and experiences they offer. Small towns are referred to as such because they attract fewer individuals due to their limitations. By escaping, individuals seek the chance to explore a world with more possibilities and diversity, where they can broaden their horizons and chase their aspirations. It implies that the motivation to escape stems from the recognition that there is more to life than what a small town can offer.
