Living in NYC 101: Staying Sane

A key element to living in a highly compact city is knowing when to leave. Stepping onto the street is incredibly exciting; there is something undeiniable in the air, an energy, a vivacity. It perks you up like a shot of java at 3 pm. There is always movement, always people, always sights and lights and things to see.

And it can be exhausting.

After the first week, I think I was exhausted without knowing it, which is why for the past few weeks I've slowed down a little in all the places I've been trying to hit - though I must admit, I've been busy in other ways. (And there are a few more directions which I need to be busy in, like where my future is headed... eep. But enough of that.)

And what better way to keep sane in New York City than reminding yourself that there is a world beyond it (which does not start on the other side of the Atlantic or in California)? That's right, we left the City, pretending to be like other good New Yorkers who clear out of the city each weekend.
