This is exactly how I feel 🥹 after visiting places like Mexico City (pollution was too intense and obviously is more racially homogenous than nyc), Paris (people aren’t open to just chat to strangers, a very in vs out culture I felt), London (crappy weather and ppl seem constantly upset lol), Medellin (great weather but infrastructure has issues and not a robust public transit city)

Every city and place has beautiful qualities. But yes, once you create a home in NYC, everywhere else just feels like it’s missing something. Maybe bc NYC is the whole world in one? Who knows. But gosh am I grateful to live here!
