Tulum Is Now! By Kier Dylon At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

To think that a year ago I was walking the streets of Manhattan is amazing. To leave the Greatest City on Earth for some beach in Tulum, Mexico. It is an odd thought at times and something I tackle with daily. Here I was, living in NYC. I had an amazing apartment with a few of my best friends from college. We were living the life. Living NYC. We all had decent jobs. All Wall Street related. We were all close and though everyone worked until 7-8pm every night, we made a conscious effort to see each other. And this was the same, we would spend a few hours each night hanging out or at the bar. We would go out clubbing on the weekends. Spend lazy Saturdays throwing a pigskin in Central Park, Sheep’s Meadow to be exact. It was a life full of stimulation…outside of work. It was great and I miss so many things about it. But what was it about NYC that was so unfulfilling. What is it about NYC that hardens the soul. Turns you cold. It was and is an odd fascination. I think about all my relationships in NYC and I’m sad. Sad for how few true friends I had and sad because I could leave it all behind. So much for the Greatest City.

But now, now I find myself in Mexico. Tulum, Mexico. A little south of Cancun. Me and these Mayan Ruins. These white sand beaches. These cabanas. This foreign land. It’s odd to reflect on my time in NYC and it’s even odder to stroll down these beaches by myself. Sometimes it’s lonely and I miss NYC, but I say to myself, it was worth it. In Tulum, I find the time and make the effort to maintain my relationships with those who I truly care for. Those who have a special place in my heart. It’s as almost though I got Lypo; relationship speaking that is. I basically ended all relations with almost all my “friends” I had in NYC and it’s been A OK. When I see them all is well, but besides that, I don’t spend too much time questioning my lack of communication with them.

And now, that leaves me here in Tulum. Hanging around the beaches pursuing all of which excites me. The silky white beaches, the diving, the snorkeling, the sunny days and laid back attitude. It’s as though I’ve stepped into my own little playground and I do as I please and what excites me. I’m not making a lot of money, but it’s enough for a nice lifestyle down here. Hopefully it’ll stay this way for a while and when I’m ready to move on, I will. The kind people I have met on my journeys down here will stay with me. I might not ever see them once I leave this place, but they will each hold a special place in my heart. A certain generosity often lacking in NYC and all in all, I’m enjoying myself here and I will not forget my time in Tulum and the people here.
