I told myself I wouldn’t fall in love with this city. I told myself that I wouldn’t fall in love with the agencies. I also told myself I wouldn’t pack 50 pounds of clothes and shoes. 

I failed epically at all three.

 I have been in New York for about 4 days, that is about 96 hours where I fell in love with this city and all it has to offer. Within those 96 hours it only took me 48 hours to recognize that I need to work for an agency in New York. This trip so far has swept me away to Wonderland and I don’t plan on ever leaving.  When I’m in New York I feel like I’m in a dream and I have no intention of waking up. 

I told myself I wouldn’t fall in love. I told myself don’t get your hopes up because you still have one more year of school. I told myself to not be hypnotized by the creativity and the bright lights. 

I failed epically at those too.
