I wonder what it would be like living alone in the city. I guess it could be pretty cool, but at the same time really scary. Cool, because then I would feel completely in control of what I was doing every day. There would also be so many random things I could do. I've always wanted to just be able to take a notepad and a few books with me to an obscure little coffee shop and write letters to my family and friends.
Of course, then I have to mention just being in the middle of all the buzz. There would be so much life everywhere; so many people going places, meeting people. It'd be nice to watch everything happening so quickly, while my own world goes by in slow motion. Scary, but interesting.
At night, there would be parties, raves, and clubs. But most nights, I'd probably just go out and take a walk through the city by myself or with a friend if I had any friends in the city. It'd be awesome seeing all the lights everywhere. I'd also love going to the Ballet once a week, or the opera.
My life would be amazing if I had a job with hours so flexible that I could spend hours at bookstores during the day. I never feel alone or bored in a bookstore. I could live in one.
I'm talking about all of this, assuming that I'm completely self-supporting, with no friends or family in the city with me. Starting completely anew. But I know I'd hate that. I have to have people close to me. I'd rather die than not have friends and family that I could go to. Honestly.
It's all a dream, though. I highly doubt I'll ever be living in the city by myself. Especially in Manhattan, because I'm certainly not rich enough for that! Maybe with a roomate, though, and it's not like it would have been in Soho anyway, as much as that would rock.
Paris, on the other hand, is COMPLETELY tangible. It's not quite as expensive there, and I can speak the language well. I already have friends and family there, so why not. I'd like that.
Daaaance me to the end of love
