I hate cities.
Okay, well, I can tolerate them for some period of time, but real, metro big cities, I hate. I love parts of Atlanta (Little Five Points, for example), but the rest, it's makes me feel angry and clausterphobic, and I do have a small case of agoraphobia. Driving around them is terrible (thusly, I got into a car accident last wednesday and it was totally NOT my fault at all), walking is even worse, public transit is annoying and complicated, there's always road work and detours, there's not a spot of green, people are isolated islands with no care for the stranger next to them. It's all point A to point B.
I can be in a city, I grew up ghetto, I know how to deal with people there. But I can't live there.
Getting all your minerals in one breath just doesn't appeal to me, for some reason or another...
Older cities, like Savannah, and ones that are better planned and more spread out, I'm better with. I actually love Savannah. But Atlanta seems like a different country all together from it, eons away.
I love the country. The more isolated the better.
My grandparents owned their own land on a mountain and it was beautiful. I'd give so much to be able to live like that again... Able to grow my own food, relish in the sudden clearings under a canopy of trees, be able to see all of the stars...

I think the labels "City" and "Country" are really broad. Not all areas of the city or country are the same. It's not black and white, there's a lot of gray area!
Please each city is really different, and each PART of each city is different. I grew up in upstate NY in a 250 year old house... our town had a gas station and a one store... so that'd be Country. Then, when I was 20, I ended up in AZ with my family helping them out (long story). While the place (Sedona) was great for relaxing, hiking, meditation etc... I had a lot of trouble there. There were no bookstores... and instead of a bookstore being a 20 minute drive to the next town like I'd grown up with... it was 45 to 60 minutes away. There was almost no middle class, which was really weird... and a lot of other problems.
I tried living in San Francisco for a bit, but it was hard to be near stuff without being in the middle of a loud city.
In the end I've ended up living in West Hollywood 1/2 to 2/3rds of the time... it has parks, grass, trees, and great bookstores and coffee shops.. AND a great pagan community (one of the best I think!). When I need my "country" fix I go back to Sedona for a few weeks. It's working pretty well. I still miss the time I used to spend in other towns near where I grew up... having a small main street, but one with coffee shops and benches where could sit and draw, yet still being very country.
So for now I do BOTH the city and the country, a back and forth deal... but I think eventually I'll end up back east somewhere in MASS or up in Flagstaff here in AZ... in a town that has woods and plenty of fresh air, but also plenty of culture... I'm always going to be a small town coffee shop artist and writer. smile
Blessed be, Jessica Cathryn AKA Tree

I enjoy the cities. Even though, li'l ol' country girl me, I get overwhelmed by them fairly easily. Still, all the bustle and excitement, all the people.. whee
It's fun. But, still, I like the country. It's quiet and laid back. And I feel more centered and in-touch with my nautrey side (gee, wonder why? rofl ) when I'm in the country. I'm pretty psyched, too, because after living in the city for about two years my boyfriend and I are moving into his old family house waaaay up on a mountain in (practically) the middle of nowhere. Should be interesting. X)
Well, I guess I should clarify my decision, really: I like the city in the winter and the country the rest of the time. Especially spring. It's so pretty right now.

Pelta Nihilistic Seraph I must agree on the harvest. Spring makes a difference though, so I'd still celebrate that. I'm still waiting to do so, we had a tiny cold snap and it snowed AGAIN. Spring arrived here just two weeks ago! blaugh It's so wonderful! We've had four days straight of glorious sunshine! It's this kind of stuff that deserves celebration! biggrin
We're getting hail. Yay...
