Sincerely written, I've often meditated on cities and loneliness as well. Tbh I'm so far removed from anything that can be described as rural it's a little like a fish meditating on the nature of water but there's a sort of oscillation that goes on. Times where I love the city and can't imagine how people could live anywhere else, the ability to do anything, grab aregnetinian food, watch a play, see an immersive sonic art exhibit that can all occur on a leisurely weekend stroll; but as you point jealousy arises easily. You are constantly surrounded by reminders that others posses what you do not have and would desperartly like to have..it can be a hard place to be alone, or think oneself alone.
at your best!!!! loved this so much. i haven’t missed nyc in a long time but this did it💔
love you
