I can fade out noise real easy. The noise, the people, the smells, the stores, the variety, all those things make cities glorious. If I could afford it I'd live right in NYC.I was just there in May with hubby, he managed to ruin most of it with his attitude but it was great. I'm hopefully going again for xmas, this time alone, it's gonna be AWESOMECities make my skin crawl. I had a full blown meltdown panic attack in New York. I lost my mind. Dirty, noisy, aggressive, claustrophobic *shudder*
There is nothing like being able to listen to your own thoughts without the constant assault of the roar of humanity, just birds and breeze, maybe the waves. Walking down the street in a city is like having your nose, eyes and ears raped.
