busy

Yesterday I was feeling all nostalgic for the city we left behind. Today, I realized that I don’t actually miss the city at all. I hate line ups. I can’t stand rude sales people who don’t even acknowledge your presence except to bark the total of your purchase at you. I despise being cut off repeatedly when I’m carrying a baby in public. Traffic jams drive me crazy. I swear everyone in this city is convinced that their schedule is more important than anyone else’s and that they might die if they have to wait 2 seconds for a pedestrian to finish crossing the street.

Our new city has a lot of crappy restaurants and the stores tend to carry hemp instead of cashmere but the people are kinder and the pace is much gentler. People smile at my baby and I instead of considering us an imposition. I miss my friends but I am so glad we moved.
