[my music: Gnarls Barkley ~ Crazy]
This summer has brought about many realizations. A huge one for me was where I have come from and where I intend on going in life. Growing up in New City, I thought life was simple awful, as it poses the same three activities to people under the age of 21; bowling, eating, and watching movies. But once this idea was repeated over and over in my head, i began to realize that what more is there to do after the age of 21. It is but the same 3 activities with the addition of 1 or 2 more possiblities; now not only can you eat, bowl or watch movies, you may now also go to a bar or lounge. Rockland offers quite a decent amount of bars and lounges to the 21+ residents, but in addition, the City is but 30-45 minutes away so many more opportunities lie there. The point is though, that not much will change after 21 years of life is reached. And this is the same for everywhere around the globe; how many activities are offered in New York City or Louisville Kentucky? There may be a few more activites in the City, and different types of activities in Louisville, but to the children and residents living in those parts of the country it all becomes routine and habit just as eating, bowling, and watching movies has become a routine and habit to the residents of Rockland County. New City, in my mind isn't that shabby of a place to live. It's decently wealthy, it's safe, and I did enjoy growing up here. I don't know if I want to bring my children up here, but I know that i no longer want to live in the City as a family woman. I have decided that I would much rather prefer living in New England. Whether it is in Connecticut or Massachusetts, I know that i would prefer living there. I love Amherst Massachusetts for some reason; I love Boston. I don't know. But no matter what I'll always remain a New York girl at heart.
I can't write anymore tonight, my eyes hurt.
