All in good time

I've been in New York City for almost two years now, and I'm just finally getting it. I'm finally getting how people could live in one place forever, and never get tired of it - in fact, how people could grow obstinately more attached to a place by the day.

There is simply no other place in the world like New York, the city. Anything and everything you could ever want is within walking distance (except Wal-mart). Everything runs the gamut from everyman to world-class. It's really hard to describe the feeling you get living here, unless you've done it. It's a sort of energy that pulses through you even on the most lazy of Sunday afternoons.

Yet, I am ready for something different. I don't know if I will come back, but I've never felt like I could stay rooted in one place too long, despite a yearning to do so. Stupid paradoxes.
