I’ve grown up and lived in a medium sized town in the Midlands most of my life. During my late teens, 20s, and early 30s I’ve always enjoyed weekends away in Manchester, Birmingham, and London a few times a year, visiting friends and going to events.
Just got back from a weekend in London, the first one in a couple of years, and I just feel… drained. In all honesty I felt that way by the end of the first day.
I’ve never wanted to live in London, but in the past I’ve always enjoyed myself there for a long weekend. This time felt different, exhausting. Is it an age thing? Has anyone else found themselves enjoying city life less and less as they get older?
I’ve always disliked large towns and cities unless they’re quick, easy and cheap to get in, around and back out again.
I like the countryside, but the older I get, the more I wish it had museums, art galleries etc.
