Living in the City

For my entire life I have been living in the city and I have to say, I love it this way. My first 15 years I have been living in my hometown, then I moved 4 years to another town for highschool, by myself, meaning I stayed in the dormitory and then I rented an apartment for the last year of highschool with a friend and then finally, for the last 11 years, I have been living in the same city, the city where I came for my university studies. I really love this city, it has definitely changed a lot over the years, more specifically over the past 11 years since I have been living year and I have been an active observer of those changes, and I have to say that in the last 4-5 years it has become more and more crowded. Of course during the pandemic, 2020 and 2021 it has been a bit quiet due to the restrictions being in place, but then, this year it gradually got back to being more and more crowded once more. I have been living in many location in those 11 years, by myself, or by sharing an apartment with a friend or a partner at that time, but in the end I got to where I feel best for the moment and that is living by myself. I know that this might change in the future, but for now I am really happy about just the way it is. I live in this neighborhood and in this apartment where I am at home right now for almost 1 year and a half and it is really great. I decided to choose a new neighborhood last time I moved, meaning last year in March because for the rest of the time I have been in this city I always lived in old neighborhoods and I kind of got tired of that, I just wanted something inside the city but a bit more fresh and also a newer building so to speak.

At the time I decided to move to a different apartment I was also just starting a new job, it was during the pandemic and we did work from home until this year, and this year as well we are still mostly working from home so that is pretty great and I am super grateful for it, so at first when deciding on the nieghborhood I was thinking whether I should choose a really nice neighborhood, one that I like or one that is close to my new workplace. I have been visiting some options, but I decided to actually live in a neighborhood that I really like afterall, and considering that we do mostly work from home, it was a great decission and now I am really happy about it and grateful for making this choice. I mean, in the past, I have experienced so many times disscomfort and lack of a good feeling when it came to the place that I was living, due to not only the places that I was living in but of course, also what I was going through and figuring out emotionally at those times, but now I feel that I have finally found home, a place to call home and to feel at home, both on the inside and on the outside, and I am so excited about it, and as already mentioned super grateful for it. I know the city can be crowded and tiring at times, but this neighborhood is pretty great for now, of course it is still growing and developing, but it does have all the facilities that I consider necessary and it does look really great, it has got also some green spaces, it is pretty nice and cozzy, and it has still a fresh vibe, and positive energy. I love my balcony and my trees and I loving going for walks around the neighborhood. It is also a nice view from this neighborhood, there are spots where you can go and see the entire city, its pretty amazing and I love it.
