I'm approaching my ten-year anniversary this summer. I moved to NYC in June 2008 when this blog began. The lows I've experienced in the past decade have been low indeed, but they're the kind of trials one would experience no matter where you live. But the highs I've felt, those moments when you have to remind yourself it's not a dream, those highs could only happen in New York City.
I have a strange feeling my time is limited and the hustle of it all is very wearying, but the thought of leaving breaks my heart a bit. I've become so attached to the anonymity I can feel here and also the community I've built. The transient nature of it forces detachment, but also depth. One discovers several versions of themselves here and for me, it brought me to a much deeper understanding of my true self.
Moving forward, I hope to continue to capture special days & moments on this blog, so I can always have immediate record of this extraordinary time of my life.
