Met my bf at school and through him and friends I’ve had a reason to finally take off work and travel all around the north east
Really came to enjoy nyc and seeing new places new ppl new music
Tho I’ll always love Nola and the scene and culture here anywhere that actually gets cold in the winter is preferred
maybe because i grew up in freaking north carolina but truly no place makes me happier than new york (and ive been out the country 4 times..) and im going next week and knowing i have a ny trip to look forward to has made life so much better.
also i wanna go see a broadway show so if anyone has any recs lmk!!!
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
In this regard, to what I like to call a funk.
I feel très dookie. Lots of change in my life, and in times of instability I tend to fall off the horse- in a major way. Like many ppl. This past go round I have been excessively hard on myself over my general lacking in… well almost everything. Ive come to the conclusion that there are times you have to give yourself more grace than you’d like to. Maybe the pity party can last a couple more days than usual. I won’t go into details, bc as those of you reading who have dealt with mental health struggles, it can be sort of gross. Sure. There’s a ton I could be doing to put an end to my funk. Make more of an effort to dig myself out of the hole. But, at the end of the day I know I will come out of the funk in my own time. Faking myself out, and convincing myself I’m feeling better serves no one.
Making yourself feel worse over feeling bad in the first place is just wildly counterproductive. Just keep moving forward in time. There’s a lot of it <3
Rough week... Months, rough months. Decided on a whim to crash w my friend an hour outside the city for a while. I was lucky enough to finish my mural early. First night here and I already feel a good bit better :)
