So much can happen in
31 days, especially in the hustle and bustle of the greatest city in the world.
Today marks the end of my first month as a resident of Manhattan and it’s hard to
believe that this day has arrived. Or is it, considering I live in the city
that never sleeps?
I’ve experienced ups and downs, mostly relating to the stairs down to the subway and up to my 5th floor walk-up.
I’ve embraced the unusual - my favorite occasion so far was listening to the soft melodies of the piano man in Washington Square Park.
I’ve learned that love is to be shared and moments are to be enjoyed, taught best by the hand holders and bench-sitters all over the city.
I’ve felt a range of emotions from impenetrable loneliness to complete bliss, and I’ve been continuously humbled by so many aspects of life here.
And mostly I’ve found countless relatable, “small-town” aspects of my day-to-day life in this endless concrete jungle. A wise man once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Welcome to my life as a New Yorker.
