Description
I live in the woods and the city. This dichotomy suits me, but I love the city because of the people. I love who they are, what they do, and how they dress and present themselves. I AM ALONE when I am upstate—just me with my family. I focus on the woods, the small, nearly empty towns, and the quiet scenes. There is a built-in disconnect upstate, where everyone keeps to themselves. That suits me, too. But in the city, it is a different kind of disconnect formed by our public anonymity. We all recognize each other without knowing us, and that's alright. Going from upstate to downstate is a balancing that defines my place in the world today, and there is no disconnect between the two for me.
