Because I saw myself becoming the stereotypical parisian. I was stressed, angry, overworked, insomniac, and a social alcoholic. One day i was walking down the stairs in a busy metro station and a guy (suit, tie,€50 haircut) growled at me because i was in his way. Not grumbled, growled. Like a dog. I decided i didn't want to become this man. A month later i was packing up.
I'm currently living in Paris, renting a pretty huge apartment in the 15eme with 2 roommates, but I'll be moving soon into a new apartment I bought myself in banlieue. If given the opportunity I'd have preferred staying in Paris but it's way too expensive to buy anything here (like 10k€/sqm...).
I was born in the suburbs of Paris, childhood was cool but once you reach puberty and go to high-school, you'll start to see that you have a lot of stuff that you can do (bars, activities,...) you also have to deal with the reality that you'll most likely won't be able to live close to your work, and that means a mean travel time of 1h morning and then 1h evening, meaning you'll end up doing little of your free time if you account for doing groceries and food (which felt important to me, I wanted to avoid takeout and stuff like that as much as possible)

That plus the fact that the comute is pretty much lost time, I wasn't doing anything useful in the train or by driving the car, and couldn't go to work by bike which would have alleviated some of the downsides cause at least I would be getting some activity.
I've spent my entire life moving among different rural suburban areas. I was born in Acton, CA, moved to Flagstaff, AZ, had spent a couple years in rural Ohio, and currently live in a town about an hour outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I've never spent longer than a couple hotel nights in a major city despite visiting many as a kid. Now that I'm less than a year away from graduating college, I'd really like some honest insight.

Because the truth is I'm completely tired of driving 25 minutes to reach a restaurant, store, or anything more exciting than a gas station. I'm also tired of run-away, aggressive pets, hostile people, ignorance, bug infestations, and the overall subtle hostility that living out here is. For almost half a decade now I've been nurturing this idea of living in an apartment somewhere deep inside a city. To be able to walk anywhere in a two two mile radius and find things, even if not necessarily everything, I'd want, and to have the ability to train ride to the locations farther away. All the while being surrounded by the pinnacle of human civilization; it honestly sounds like a dream.
So to me moving out of the parisian ambiance was a goal that I don't regret achieving one bit, but this is mostly true to my needs and I can see why some people would want to live there, it was just not for me.

My cat is a nocturnal maniac. During the night she enjoys meowing at walls & scratching my couch. Almost like she is in an insane asylum. She prefers to smother & suffocate herself under blankets while the sun is out like a vampire. When she wakes up from her 12-16 hour nap she enjoys to stretch until her paws shake & drool on me cause she’s excited for some pets. Then she will eat her food like its her last meal because shes afraid theres not gonna be any food after her hibernation period but she eats so much so fast she throws up all over the floor then stares at me as her servant to clean up after her. She likes to take up to ten minutes in her litter box blowing it up. Then, she has to wipe her paws vigorously until they are clean & then showers the entire floor with any remaining litter on her paws. Other than all of this, she is a sweetheart 😂

So three kids decide they are going to have a contest to see who is strongest. Unsure how to go about they one sees three bricks on the ground and decide whoever can throw it highest wins. The first one throws it into the air and it falls to the ground sinking slightly into the mud. They can't really tell how high, but figure the highest must be the one that sinks most. So the next one throws the brick up and it goes pretty high too. Falls even deeper into the mud. Last one throws the brick as hard as he can... And it doesn't come back down 🤣

So a lady is going to go on a trip and wants to take her parrot with her. The only airline she can get a ticket last minute is a no smoking no pets airline. So she thinks it's a short flight... I can just stuff my pockets full of food and tuck the bird into my coat. So she's on the plane, on her way, and about half way through the flight the pilot tells the copilot to take over and goes to greet the passengers. She he's walking down the aisle greeting everyone and he's smoking a big cigar. He gets to the lady she's so nervous and sure enough the parrot starts talking. The pilot is so angry she brought the bird on he throws it out the window. The women obviously furious throws his cigar out too. He's livid. Both mad he goes back to his seat and what does he see our the cockpit window but the parrot. Would you guess what he had in his mouth! The brick
