New York City

 

     I never wanted to live in a big city, like make it an actual home someday.  But I have always wanted to visit or stay there for awhile, like New York. But settling there, I don't think so. I would love to be able to stretch out and not feel jammed up or not be able to breathe fresh air. Living in the country or somewhere with a lot of land is where I want to be, and trees! I love trees! Maybe I'll start photographing trees. You can do so much with a tree: make a tree house, use it for a swing, carve lover's initials on it, and so much more.... But the city doesn't have that. They don't have life from big and free space, but they find life from cramped up space. You can't just run around in your backyard or play or ride your bike down to the local ball park without waving or saying hi to someone (or getting hit by a taxi). There are limits in the city life. Not just spacial, but people limits as well. It would be considered strange to wave randomly to someone or pick up something for someone who dropped it in the big city. I like the small city life and the country. That is why I never want to settle in the city, because they have limits, and they don't have trees!
