New York, NY
New York. I love this city. I have lived here for 6 years and it has become MY city. It is starting to hit me that I may be away from the city for a while. I have long said that New York is like an addictive substance. You know it is bad for you, but you JUST CAN'T LEAVE IT. Maybe I should go through a 12 step process to try to get out of New York.
Step 1..admit you have a problem... yes, I have a problem.. I am 27 and don't own a car, don't have a yard, and share a bathroom....and yet days like today I wake up, look out my window and thank God for putting me here in this wonderful city which is as crazy, ambitious, multi-cultural, and alive as I am. Then its back to step 1 again...what was the problem?
Nata posted a quote today that I loved: "The beauty of New York rests on a completely different base. It's unintentional. It arose independent of human design, like a stalagmitic cavern. Forms which are in themselves quite ugly turn up fortuitously, without design, in such incredible surroundings that they sparkle with a sudden wondrous poetry." The Unbearable Lightness of Being Author: Milan Kundera

Well, you'll always find ways to go back! Even if it's just for shorter visits. It feels great to walk the streets of New York! Miss this city a lot!

i love new york as well, although i love london more.
don't worry about being 27 and sharing a bathroom, just think about how you're having a smaller impact on the environment by sharing resources : ). if every person on the planet had their own bathroom and toilet, with electronic gadgets, we'd be out of water and energy pretty soon.

That, Sarah, is why I love you...you always think about things in a fresh, new perspective :) I love the theory..and I love London too...so watch out for me on the other side of the pond sometime soon!
