I try not to think about New York too often because it’s enough to make my heart sort of ache. I think it would be a hard place for me to live, but I wish I had the money and the freedom to visit from time to time. It’s more vibrant and alive than a lot of places and I love walking miles of blocks and ambling and stopping in here and there. I like that I know my way around the city so well, though I’ve only been a handful of times. I love the way the neighborhoods have their own unique identities, and the way they fade into one another. I love that New York is something we all sort of share, but that it can also feel like it’s sort of only your own, like maybe we all experience that majestic city in our own way.
