What do you love about where you live?
The past year, I’ve really been thinking about what it is that I love about New York. I’ve always lived it, and I believe that I always will. New York is both an easy and difficult city to love. So much is here. There is so much to love. However, many constraints as well.
I have lived in over 23 cities. I don’t count the NYC boroughs as different cities, but if I did, I’ve lived in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. I work part of the time in Queens, and some of my family members are buried in Staten Island. There, I’ve covered all five boroughs of the city.
I will probably leave New York City again, and then l’ll hear the siren song and return. Again.
Look, the city can be expensive, dirty, and smelly in the summer and slushy in the winter. Yet, I keep coming back. Why? Vibrancy? There really is a little bit of everything here. Every cuisine, language, and culture can be found here. Each block is a live Broadway show. And, many states and adventures and nearby. You can fly directly to Tokyo and Vienna. New York City is a forever love. Sometimes, you have to step away. But you always get reunited. That’s forever infatuation. Maybe even love.
