Finding home

I came to NYC to run an experiment, a trial. To find out whether I liked living in the city enough to consider it home post graduation. However, the more I work and the more I be here, I love the city, but I just couldn't be here full time. I guess I always had a feeling this may happen. I guess I always knew the country girl in me was going to win over.

I don't mind the hustle and bustle of city life, it's just tiring. An hour subway from Queens into Manhattan in the morning and then an hour back at night on top of a long work day just burns you out. And plus you spend enough on good food just because it's a quick walk. Your normal homecooked family dinner is a thing of the past.

I just miss my grass and my horse right now. I miss a quiet life where things aren't so insane. And I think that's what I'll be searching out post graduation. Somewhere quiet, whether rural or suburban, where I can have a car and a quiet little apartment, go riding and just do my job.
