I’ve grown up and lived in a medium sized town in the Midlands most of my life. During my late teens, 20s, and early 30s I’ve always enjoyed weekends away in Manchester, Birmingham, and London a few times a year, visiting friends and going to events.
Just got back from a weekend in London, the first one in a couple of years, and I just feel… drained. In all honesty I felt that way by the end of the first day.
I’ve never wanted to live in London, but in the past I’ve always enjoyed myself there for a long weekend. This time felt different, exhausting. Is it an age thing? Has anyone else found themselves enjoying city life less and less as they get older?
I grew up in a similar-sized place in the Home Counties, and still love visits to places like London, Manchester, Bristol, etc, though I definitely have less tolerance for the journey home nowadays! Could be that you’re moving onto different things entertainment-wise, nothing wrong with that
