BIG. BOLD. BRASH. BEAUTIFUL
New York swallowed me, taking me deep into its belly. It immediately recognized I was carrying vulnerability. It opened its heart and began to caress me back to health.
The more of the cities buzz I embraced, the calmer I became.
This feeling is rare, fleeting at best.
I've only encountered this kind of comfort once before, in Jamaica.
New York epitomizes opportunity with commerce and culture colliding. The result is a vibrant tapestry full of diversity.
If you bring an attitude to New York, the city will quash you; chew you up and spit you out. I believe it embraced us because we put aside our perceptions and realized it is full of vibrant neighbourhoods. New Yorkers try their best daily. They bring the city to life.
New York offered escape when I needed it the most. Escaping brought a twinge of happiness back into my heart. It helped me realize my core is solid.
While in New York, I collected several pieces of my shattered life, placing them back where they belong.
THANK YOU!
