I fled NYC amid COVID — and it was the worst decision of my life

They took off in a hurry — but these New Yorkers are on the express line back to the city.

Turns out, not all New Yorkers are cut out for country living.

“I was definitely not in farm-shape when I got there,” said Thacher, who briefly volunteered at a friend’s organic homestead.

And so after testing out life in Massachusetts, Vermont and Beacon in upstate New York, Thacher settled on, well, Brooklyn.

“It’s just so easy to walk places without having to plan things out. You can stumble upon bars or restaurants and not be on a script here.”

On June 1, she signed a lease on a much bigger three-bedroom flat in Burlington, Vt., where she moved with her two Siberian Huskies.

“After two weeks I was like, ‘Is this all there is? Where is everybody?’ ”

She was happy to return to the churn of fast-paced city life — and soon found herself back in her old routine of visiting museums, walking through Riverside Park and volunteering with the Wild Bird Fund.

“I moved back right in time for the Met re-opening,” said Cross. “When I walked into the room with the Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko paintings, my cells fell back into place.”

Not everyone like to live in a city of 8 million people. But stay in NY. You won’t be infecting other states with your liberalism.

Good. Everyone should try to live where they feel they belong. Otherwise they will be out of sorts and annoy others.

Oh ze horror! Living among "the little people" without high society!

Millions of us love it, chick. If you love NYC so much, go back there and stay until Antifa and Burn/Loot/Murder torch the place to the ground.

I have lived in 8 states, 4 foreign countries and about 20 cities.

NYC was easily, far and away, not even close, THE worst place I have ever lived in my life. I COULD. NOT. WAIT. To get the hell out. I hated literally every single last thing about it.

Translation:

I was not committed enough to the commune to actually be expected to do labor digging ditch and pulling weeds and sleeping in a bunk house.

“Those who don’t like where they live being dissed on line shouldn’t take the opportunity to dis people who live elsewhere.

I don’t mind if people insult where I live so I’ll take this opportunity to express my general disdain for cities and absolute disdain for the leftists who love them.

You can do that in Vegas too, baby.

In New York you can also stumble upon homeless people, their stuff, excrement, and used hypodermic needles. Watch your step, dearie.

Museums were shuttered along with the indoor dining at the restaurants, boutiques, and everything else she cited about New York.

‘Is this all there is?'

She was a quarter inch and a tenth of a second from enlightenment, but she answered the question wrong and will return to Hell for a billion kalpas.

Yes, New Yorker, 'this' is all there is.

That's true in New York too, and everywhere and anywhere you go. Tricking your cognition into busy-ness and distraction and manufacturing an illusory construct called 'ego' that you mistake as 'I' and then willingly and hypnotically chasing it around as its slave within the equally illusory palace (dump) called 'time' is the definition of Hell.

Enjoy your flee from Heaven silly girl :-) Heaven doesn't suit the churning mind.

Exactly. The one lady says her cells came back alive because she went iback to the Met and looked at her paintings and she needed to walk her park. Well maybe there are a parks and activities elsewhere that are just as good or better elsewhere than walking in that one park in the city and the museum. She is so shallow and not giving it a chance.

Her kids won’t be raised on the streets. Maybe she thinks they will be deprived of thrilling adventure tales.
