The city is a beautiful place to be in, but not everybody thinks so. Instead of fish, there is a sea of people in the streets, and instead of trees, a forestry of buildings form the concrete jungle. For some strange reason, however, all this appeals to you, even more so than white sand or flower beds.
Not a lot of people appreciate the magnificence of the city life as much as you do. Here are five reasons you feel that the urban landscape is the perfect place to live:
1. You are comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
If there’s anything you look forward to the most throughout the day, it’s the digital clock on your phone. The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland is probably even your spirit animal. Long-winded, uneventful days exhaust you more than the hustle and bustle of the city. The rampant clacking of heels against the pavement is music to your ears, and the scenery of skyscrapers against the sky is food for your soul.
2. You crave the nightlife.
After tiring work days, on the other hand, you’d choose to unwind at a bar with a cold drink in hand. You are game for an occasional trip to the beach down south, but there’s nothing more relaxing than spending a Friday night at the heart of the city with great company.
3. You enjoy being in the center of the arts and entertainment.
The city is a melting pot of culture and the arts. There is an endless number of galleries, gardens, cinemas, parks, museums, and street art installations in every corner – you wish you had the time to visit them all. Despite your busy schedule, there are a few workshops for various crafts and hobbies you’ve been meaning to take. You find yourself overwhelmed about how great it is living in the city because you never really run out of things to do. The city never sleeps, they say, and it’s the truth.
4. You love people.
You aren’t necessarily a social butterfly, but you love the company of people, even if it’s just the passengers in your daily commute to work or the people who wait in line with you at elevators. When you do feel like socializing, you have a genuine fondness for everyone you meet. Everyone has a great story to tell. Getting to see new faces every day and engaging with varying personalities invigorates you.
5. You embrace individuality.
In the city, people can express themselves and be themselves. You revel in the freedom of wearing whatever you want, even if it’s donning a crazy hair color. You can be anyone you want to be in the city and it makes you love life even more.
The city may not be everybody’s dreamland, but for a lot of people, it is the place of growth and tranquility.
