For the longest time I thought I couldn’t live in NYC. It was too fast-paced. Too many people. Too big. Too smelly. And I thought of myself as none of those things. But as the week went on I felt myself leaning into this NYC life. Maybe I could live here? Maybe I was fast-paced and smelly? What I’m trying to say is I think living in NYC would be hard yes, but I think that the fear of living there shouldn’t deter me from doing it.
