The subway conductor one!! I vividly remember having a conductor who made it his morning radio show once, it was awesome.

I love the city, but I feel like I’m not fully taking advantage of it. Isn’t the whole point of living in the city (compared to living in the suburbs) to be around people? I love occasional interactions with people but I can’t go any further than that.

I hear you completely!! it’s so wild living here because you are always surrounded by people but it doesn’t always feel that way!!

as someone who moved to NYC four years ago, this piece was everything to me! i know i too get caught up in the busyness and the noise and get overwhelmed, but i also remind myself of my younger self who would've given ANYTHING to live in NYC. perspective is everything and i loved reading about all of your favorite things about the city🥹🤍

daelyn's avatar

omg thank you for reading <3 but YES, perspective really is everything!! and it’s good to remind ourselves of all the reasons we chose to move here and why we love it!!!
