NYC Has Youthful Energy
I was catching up with a friend from Toronto today and she told me how New Yorkers feel younger. For example, if she meets a 32-year-old in Toronto, they’ve settled down already. Maybe they’re married and bought a house. Whereas in NYC, there are many single 32-year-olds.
I noticed the same thing among my friends. A few of my friends back home in Toronto are married or have a long-term partner. Whereas not many of my New York friends are even in long term relationships.
I have a few friends in their thirties who are living life no differently than my friends in my twenties. My roommate has a coworker in their forties who’s still rooming with his friends.
New York isn’t the city many people settle down in and perhaps that’s what keeps us young.
