I remember telling myself theses words, while first arriving to the big apple..
You notice the energy of the city shift as seasons come and go..is this still the sweet crisp season?
Most people feel overwhelmed with the city when their become the "First Timers"..
-"I".. On the otherhand, became overwhelmed with feelings of infatuation..
and not by obsession.. Infatuation towards this new enviroment.
Something that seems so familiar to you, yet you still know nothing about. Exploring things that seem so new to you, yet you feel as if you know them so well..
Its been nearly a year.. Since taking those first few steps off the airplane..
and having those first thoughts of.. "Well, what in the world do i do now.."
-I still know nothing of this place.. I have come to realize..
I feel like this enviroment, The city with endless possibility.. even though with how small it really is..The city still thrives on it's "creating something new", "that someone else has not seen before".. So there is always something new to keep catching our interest, and sparking the imagionation. It would be almost physically impossible to accomplish all of what you really wanted to in one day, and not miss out on anything. Theres at least something in one day that we all sacrifice with out even knowing just from living in this city.. But Is this "sacrifice" that feeds us the feelings in which overwhelm our senses.. The possibilities of what we can possibly do to do in one day just keep stacking one on top of the other, before all thats left is this skyscraper for in which we all veiw and know the skyline of so well..
We have in a sense, created our own sacrifice that we feed off of each day. We have created this never Ending cycle, which continues along with everyone elses.. "first steps"
How can we all say we know something so well yet still know nothing about a lot of it.. We try to focus on the history of this city, what keeps bringing us to where we are now in time.. and with conclusion have really continue to created and rebuilt this city with endless possiblities. Within the never ending cycle that continues to grow. :)
This city really couldnt be more beautiful then it really is.. With all of its possibility no body, looks down on you for standing out or trying something new.. We all are in a way always looking for something new and different here.. Coming from a girl who is from texas, where everything is extremely color blocking.. "Fashion" is what "Fashion says".. You dont see too many people actually trying to create the "New". You can be who you are here.. And people respect you for that.. You couldnt ask for anything more beautiful then that.
