New York City.



The place I called home.

The city that raised me and

nurtured me into adulthood.

After 13 years of living in this city,

a few months before I left for good,

I actually started to appreciate all wonders

of my surroundings. Slowly I then retired my

typical complaints of noise, over-crowdedness,

foul smells, the nerve of people not curbing their

dogs & other little annoying things that seemed to

usually bother me when I'd walk down the street. I

would go on long walks, embracing the scenery, the

nostalgia and absorb the beauty that I wouldn't ordinarily

notice. It's funny how we start to appreciate things when they're

almost gone. This city, the people and friends that I leave behind will

always have a place in my heart wherever I am. Thank you for everything.
