Cities 🏙

I kind-of hate cities.

They're so man-made, unnatural. There's almost no nature. And it makes me sad thinking about all of the nature that was destroyed in order to construct the cities. But, at the same time, they do seem necessary for us, don't they?

Like I can hardly imagine life without all of the buildings we have, coffee shops, shops, stores, restaurants, etc.

There is a certain aspect of inevitability to life, I think. One of them is cities. Would've happened either way.

I don't think I will ever understand people who choose cities over nature though, ultimately.

I would not want to live in a city. I would want to live in the middle of nowhere.

Cities are also so polluted and dangerous. And I really dislike street parking.

Yet they contain within them a sense of hope, of change, of job, of opportunity, of people, of hope, of humanity.

Now to contradict everything I just said, as I love to do, a day trip to the city can be fun.

Here is one I recently went on, to visit the vibey, one of the most famous aquariums.
