Goodbyes are never easy...especially when you
are unsure of what the future holds.
Close to four months ago, I picked up my
enter life to move to what many consider to be the epicenter of the world. And
while I had no idea at the time, this single decision has morphed into an array
of life changing opportunities.
For those of you that know me, even though
I have called Arizona my home for my entire life, you are well aware that
I have dreamed of living in New York City ever since my first visit 11 years
ago. And while some may have doubted if I could actually do it, I am always one
to follow through with my extravagant life plans.
Rarely have my own plans for my life fallen
so perfectly into place as they have in this crazy concrete jungle.
And while the city itself has so much to do with all the things I have
experienced in these short few months, it is the city's people that have made
all the difference.
Being the cheese ball that I am, NYC really is
what all those songs say it is. While it can eat your soul alive and leave you
forgetting why you wanted to live here in the first place, it truly is the
place "where dreams are made of."
As I transition back to suburbia for the next
few months (since I will luckily get to call the city my permanent home in the
very near future) all I can think about is how much my life has been shaped by
the people, places, and things I have experienced here.
So here is to this city! To every crowded subway
ride and every Brooklyn hipster, to every struggling artist and every street
performer...don't give up! For as the wisest New Yorker of them all Frank
Sinatra once said, "If I can make it here, I'll make it anywhere."
xoxo,
Kacy
