leave New York City

Yes it is the best city in the world. So why do I want to pack my things & go? This place is the craziest place, it’s way tooo fast for me, everyone is always in a freaking rush and it’s tooo expensive. It’s the worse place to find your other half, men are scarse, they are either gay (no offense) married, jerks or just want to get laid…. so there I said it…. I want peace, quietness and a cheaper cup of coffe…......

I moved to NYC from UK when I was 34 years old, to marry my New York husband. I had travelled the world, owned my own home, had a great job and went away most weekends, usually to Paris, Prague, Athens etc on cheap flights. Now we live in an apartment we can’t afford, we have never been to the cinema. We are broke. We have a toddler who we tried to take to the beach on countless occasions and the beaches were either filthy and crowed with ghetto blasters or we were turned away because one needs a permit. It’s like living in Russia, too many laws and rules and regulations. Tickets for everthing. Need I.D. just to buy a stick of gum. My entire pay check goes towards the rent, I just hand it over to the landlord. It’s like living either in the 18th century or behind the iron curtain. Cool people though, I do like New Yorkers. I would like to move to NC or Maine or somewhere with mountains, lakes or coastline. I don’t want my daughter growing up here.
