Guys today marks my one year anniversary of living in New York! I know I’ve talked about it before, but the day I arrived here was probably one of the most mentally challenging days I’ll ever go through! I was beyond heartbroken after leaving the comforts of home and my beautiful family and all of the sudden I was in this strange place with no permanent place to live and absolutely no idea what the future would hold in terms of finding a job and carving out a new life for myself. I swear the only way I talked myself through those days when I was overwhelmed with homesickness was by telling myself “Stick it out until the end of the Summer, then Christmas” and before I know it here I am one year later. It’s funny, you get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love, but you’ll miss the person you were at that time and place because so many changes are about to happen that you’ll never be the same person again! This city has taught me so much about myself and life in general that I wanted to share it all with you guys.
