I don’t feel like there’s anything left here for us in Toronto. I don’t mind visiting the city, but I don’t want to live in it. People are stuck up and narrow-minded (although I acknowledge there are idiots everywhere). It’s too loud, dirty, heartless.
I am a rural person. I like the country. I want to raise my daughter somewhere with fresh air, and less of the pretentiousness and lazy convenience of the city. I want nature every day, to go for more walks, to have beautiful things to paint. Really, I hate the city. I would like to take her up north or to another country altogether. Things just don’t feel right here.
