A few years ago I HATED Boston and everything about it. It was gross,
small, ugly, the streets made no sense, the people were assholes, and
it seemed impossible to find anything involving entertainment going on
here. I would harass my boyfriend constantly letting him know once I am
on my feet I am leaving Boston. I would also snobbishly look around and
wonder "why the fuck would anyone want to come to Boston, Massachusetts
for their vacation?!?!" I was just filled with nothing but hate for
this city.
But now... I have grown fond of Boston. I can see the
beauty in her tiny skyline. I love walking the Charles, or discovering
new restaurants, shops, pubs as I roam her streets. I have gotten use to
the fact that maybe the people aren't that friendly but I have also
discovered that a lot of them are. I have met some amazing people and
made some really good friends. I have gotten involved in the community
and it has really become MY community. The Entertainment industry is
starting to blossom here, which is good because now I can't imagine
living anywhere else... Unless of course it was London. But even then, I
would only want it to be temporary. I can even see myself buying a
house around here... Settling down here. I love the sports teams, the
seasons, the schools, how close I am to family, my friends, the
community I have built and the community I am now connected to. I enjoy
it all. Well, except maybe the MBTA and crazy drivers... ;)
And as
for vacationers... it makes sense now. Boston is rich with history. Who
wouldn't want to come to an old city and explore its history and past
along with enjoying what is here today?
Oh yea... I also take
pride in the fact that my several times great grand father was General
Artemus Ward who was the general in the Revolutionary War and was part
of the battle of Bunker Hill... among other things. I am connected to
this place in many ways. And I love it.
