Better Days 1 month ago

A recent comment prompted me to look back at this one and I realized that I left this goal a little open-ended and negative. So now a year later, I’m here to write an update about better days.

I’m still figuring out my place among new co-workers, friends, extended family, but I have a home now. I have my little corner or the world, a neighborhood, routines, and they make me feel safe and comfortable. I’ve carved myself out a home base, all by myself, from which to launch into any number of grand adventures that are literally at my doorstep somedays. (Nothing like waking up at 8:00 in the morning with a parade going down your avenue.)

Homesickness still makes some days hard. A phone call can never compare to a hug. My family just left after spending the week with me, so today is one of the rougher days. But the rough days are not as numerous, and the bright days are very good indeed.

I love the city. It is everything I could have ever hopped for and not nearly as cold (usually) as I expected it to be. :) Now I just struggle to live up to it. I tend not to be spontaneous or a risk taker by nature so sometimes it takes doing to push myself outside of my comfort zone.



Moving to the Big Apple 2 months ago

I am looking to move to New York in July. I am a fashion illustrator/designer and I want to be right in the hub of fashion. So NYC, here I come, a little afraid because I’ve never lived outside of Florida, but confident with the faith that I’ll adjust, overcome hardships, but most importantly grow and become a better person.

move to new york 3 months ago

This year I will not be able to run the New York marathon due to financial reasons. This would have been my 6 time.I am sad. Its not about the race. Its about being immerse with the people and the atmostphere that is NEW YORK. Each time I go to NEW YORK I refuse to take photo because I know that next I go it will be to stay there. I love my job here in the UK. I hope I can get a similar or even better job when I get there.

It might be unrealistic, financially difficult, over ambitious, but its not impossible, and it will definiately be fun. I fancy my chances, although i really need to find out more about the working visa if i want to work while im there, and plan things a litlle more first.



Since I was in High School. 5 months ago

I have been passionate about this city for as long as I can remember. On several occasions I have attempted to move there, but it just hasn’t happened. At this point, I know it will happen some day. How could it not with this depth of passion and that feeling of being at home when I go? I hope I’m not just scared and putting it off. I think I want to…don’t I?
