Polina Pushkareva Instagram – How I look/feel in Mexico VS The US
⠀
It is been exactly a month since I moved out of NYC. I thought I would be dying/missing the city like crazy but in reality I am so glad I decided to leave
⠀
What changed?
⠀
– I barely feel anxiety
⠀
In NYC I always feel this weird pressure in my stomach and feel like I need to be ready to fight at any moment any weird guy catcalling on the street or another business problem
⠀
– I don’t feel lonely anymore
⠀
I meet new people every day who actually want to connect instead of thinking of you as a potential profit in the future, I say “hi” to random people on the street, I found my fav taco guy that asks me my daily boy drama updates
⠀
-I feel creative again
⠀
I decided to buy a random abandoned house to start a new business, invest in 2 businesses of my friends and open my own store in CDMX
⠀
In the US opening a business means investing an insane amount of money, getting this/that permission that takes months (why tho?) and working with your lawyer 24/7 for months so someone can’t sue you for whatever stupid reason cause they know you have money
⠀
Conclusion? While people who sacrificed so much to move to NYC self gaslight themselves and others with “New York or nowhere” you can move differently and choose YOURSELF
⠀
P.S: just to clarify, I don’t live in Mexico and don’t plan to move there. I go with the flow and will be just traveling full time for the next couple of years BUT I moved out of NYC | Posted on 25/Mar/2025 20:26:02
