i was so excited to move to DC until i visited for the first time this weekend. got my dream job and was so excited to try out a new place, but it’s not what i expected. i’m not concerned because living there is not long-term, but i will miss my favorite place in the world so dang much. nyc has a very special place in my lil heart
I think you’d like 14th street, it’s still not comparable to ny but there are a ton of good restaurants and shops and it’s just the most enjoyable place to walk around at least for me personally
Also I don’t know if you’re into movies but theres an Angelika about 25 min out of the city so that might be a good reminder of ny (it’s my favorite theater around here and the shopping area around it called mosaic also has lots of nice restaurants and shopping)
Went to new york last week and loved it. my friend and I were walking around one evening and it felt eerily normal like we were catching up after work vs on trip and I was like god will i move here? And then i had to remember visiting a place is different from living there. But also…what if i did? Haha
i know it's cliche but i really love it here! i really need a job here and more friends and a lover but i am taking time to appreciate what i do have which is the opportunity to live in such an amazing city with so many things happening all the time everywhere. i was never really a new york or nowhere person (and i'm still not, go wherever you want) but there is really nowhere i'd rather be right now :D
5 mins in he took a piss in the street, got to the bar to meet my friend and her bf and we immediately noticed he was acting weird, he wasn’t making any sense, kept getting up to go to the bathroom, eventually realized he fell asleep at the table mid convo. ditched him and woke up the next morning to a pic of him on his story with his chin busted open because he slammed his face into a curb
recently had to pause therapy bc my provider decided to go private pay and charge me $200/session. recording myself venting is basically like talking to my reflection, and then i can listen back and decide if i’m insane. plus i can even disclose the embarrassing things that i’d never tell my therapist. oh and it’s $0
