Until coming back home this weekend it never really struck me how much more I feel like I belong here. In NYC I feel really out of place, like some dude who came and crashed the party--alone--and then sat in the corner. I am just not a city boy. Here in Maine, life moves at exactly my speed. Here in Maine I feel like everybody's got my back. Feeling like an outsider has been a huge contributor to my stress level out in NYC. I just don't really belong.
Having accepted that, I guess that I will not be living right in the city once I am out of NYU. Maybe someplace just outside of Boston. Boston is basically Portland but bigger, and with room for an actual indie music scene. I just can't imagine what living permanently in NYC would do to me.
