Today after five years of independantly living in Chicago I've come across an article in the newspaper about a young womans experience living alone in the city, working, meeting people, joining clubs, and the differences of the life she was used to growing up in the suburbs. I was liberated to read this article as memories of making friends out of strangers, chosing places to eat, live, work was in abundance.
I was yet relieved when no one asked me for rides, to borrow books, clothes, or would just walk right into my house the way it used to be in the suburbs. The woman mentioned that in the city these things happened much less.
