Quotes
When I moved there my opinion was “NYC is cool and will show me cool things I have not seen before.”
When I moved away, my opinion was “Fuck cool things. NYC is a crucible, a cauldron, that scalded me with wild, unpredicted, impossible experiences, until I became a different person. Leaving is physically painful. I will love that stinking expensive shithole forever, even from afar. I tear up at memories major and minor. I felt each second vibrate as it passed, then. Thank God I was foolish enough to move there when I was young and had no money.”
