I’m excited to be heading to New York this weekend to visit a best friend of mine from college. I absolutely adore visiting the city. As soon as I arrive it’s like I’ve entered a completely different universe. I love the crowds and the subway and the lights. I love going to brunch, shopping, and having drinks with good friends. Sometimes, at certain moments in my trip, and just for fun, I pretend that I live there. I pretend that I’m a regular, a city-girl, a “New-Yorker”. Over the years I have learned how to navigate the subway and visit the Boroughs, discovering little pockets in the vast mass of buildings and people. I pretend that I’m not a visitor, but instead just a girl, walking the streets, in the city of all cities.
And then, as the weekend comes to a close, the exhaustion hits me, and I realize I’m ready to go home.
…But for now, I’ve got that dreamy excitement in me, and I can hardly wait to get there.
Have a lovely weekend!
