Dearest City — You know I got love for ya, but sometimes I think we need a break from each other. I didn’t think I’d say this, but, I’m interested in someone else too. Someone a little more grounded and who understands me on a deeper level. Someone I probably see myself with more long term. Yeah, you’re fun and sexy, you make my heart race, you offer so much. You’re wild and adventurous. But I just can’t keep up all the time. So… I’m going to see nature this weekend.
It’s no surprise that we don’t agree on a lot of things and your cat calls and rancid garbage lying around annoy me to no end. And I know that every relationship has problems. But I’m not myself around you lately; I need some space. I believe a little balance will be better for us long term. Sometimes, I just want to have ice cream at home on a Friday night without feeling guilty about it. But no, you always have to honk and holler to make sure I can hear you outside my room.
I’m sure you don’t care, though. I know in a weird way you’ll always be there for me no matter what. In fact, I’ll see you in three days when I get back home to you from this charming cabin in Vermont with my lovely gentleman friend. I appreciate all that you are and what you do give me, but I guess I realize I can’t handle you all the time. Love ya but, let’s be friends. For now, the soul doc has prescribed me trees, swimming holes, farm fresh eggs + veggies, and a hand-built fire and my 5D. And a gracious impromptu portrait model who lets me take out my pent-up photo aggression on him.
Thanks for always understanding.
Your girl that it’s complicated with, T.
PS — I’ve gotten a lot of questions about where this gem of a cabin is. It’s located in Bolton, Vermont and I found it on AirBnB. Highly recommend, especially for beaten down New Yorkers. Cell phone service sucks, so there’s your excuse for being unplugged.
