I Love New York

Despite it's rugged exterior, and suck it up and deal with it attitude, I have started to fall in love with New York. The people here, really do care, they just go about it in a different way, but that's not what made me start falling in love with the city. It's the quantity of people and the seemingly endless possibilities to follow your heart that makes New York so special.

For instance, I have a co-worker who loves drama theatre. This week, he rented out a stage at the Y and Directed a Play that his friend wrote. The actors were pretty great, the play was intellectually humorous, and the small crows had a great time. He even had a stand up comedian for an opening act.

OMG! this guys was pretty funny. But, you had to be smart and up with current events to understand his jokes. For a minute there, he reminded me of David. His name is Gabe, and this quick witted handsome man came over to talk to me, and I did as I always do when I meet someone I like and clammed up. Foolish me. I can only hope to get passed this when my "one" comes along. The comedian/play combination was great though.

Lets see, what else. Oh yes, I love the exposure to different cultures I get on a daily basis. Seriously, why travel when the world comes to you. Don't quote me on that. Seriously, it's just that I have a feeling that I won't be able to afford travel outside of the United States for a year or two (and those of you who know me well, know that that would be enough to kill me), but the need to travel isn't so desperate when I'm surrounded by so many different languages and cultures on a daily basis. Makes living in New York a great adventure. I love it.

I love being in school surrounded by very bright people, and love that for the first time in years, I'm being forced to step up to the plate, and test my limits, for nothing more to stay afloat. Life's exciting, and scary, and fun, and full of un-familiar twists and turns-which makes me feel that for the first time in years, I'm actually living."
