Oh goodness... I'm nigh twelve days belatedly to this post service lol. I was writing my other post service for today talking nigh how long I've been inward the city, in addition to I was similar oop! I totally missed the mark. That's what makes me a truthful New Yorker, right? Not caring nigh the anniversary/forgetting...
dress / bag / shoes / earrings / sunglasses
WELL... it was a dissimilar year, to nation the least. The terminate of final yr was fossil oil -- in addition to thus fossil oil that it actually only plagues all the practiced memories I can't look to remember. When I intend back, I only look to recall crying into my dinner every nighttime talking to Andrew nigh feeling in addition to thus lost in addition to anxious. I only wasn't myself. But at the same time, I was. I don't know... it's difficult to explain. I was in addition to thus happy but in addition to thus lamentable all at the same time. It didn't brand whatever sense.
One thing nigh final yr that was dandy was getting engaged. I know people e'er nation they're in addition to thus excited to hook upwards amongst their best friend but truly, Andrew is my person. And if at that spot is anything inward a higher identify anything I tin give cheers New York for, it's him. He's my born in addition to bred New York guy; my best friend, my biggest ally, my loudest supporter. He's a tin endure a piddling fossil oil around the edges if y'all don't know him (he is a New Yorker after all) but amongst me, amongst us together, we're happy. We express joy every day, nosotros listen, nosotros beloved in addition to thus deeply, nosotros support, in addition to nosotros encourage. We're the perfect team.
So New York is pretty great. And this yr has been great. So 50/50 of my fifth yr inward New York was pretty ok. It was challenging, sure, but whats increment without some obstacles? Just every bit the afterward purpose of final yr plagued happy moments, this yr has erased the past. I'm dorsum to existence me in addition to existence happy, stress-free, in addition to excited nigh my job. I e'er idea it would endure New York that would intermission me inward the long run but if anything, it's been at that spot for me through thick a thin.
That's the thing nigh this city. It understands what you're going through (its seen it before) in addition to it's at that spot to help. Need some late-night soul nutrient at 3am? Got it. Need to go for a 5 mile run on the H2O without interruption? Got it. Need structure in addition to thus loud y'all can't hear your ain thoughts? Oh boy, does it direct maintain it. New York is hither to weed out the weak in addition to back upwards the strong. Build a business, go your ain boss, accept command of your life in addition to the metropolis is hither to help.
Over the past times 6 years, this metropolis has genuinely go my home. It's where I am instantly rooted inward this world, in addition to it's where a purpose of me volition e'er endure -- no affair where I live. It takes piddling pieces of y'all over time, but it gives y'all dorsum in addition to thus much more. Sure the rent is high, the summertime oestrus makes the metropolis smell, in addition to the traffic cannot teach worse. But it's my home. My place. And every twenty-four hr menstruation I opened upwards my eyes to i of the most iconic buildings inward the reason in addition to every nighttime I sentry it low-cal upwards the nighttime sky. It's a blessing.
And moving here, taking that risk, is nonetheless i of the best decisions I've made inward my life.
