When I first came to New York I met up with my friend Mujie and I was curious what it was like to live here. We looked out past the glass onto the Manhattan sidewalk and watched for a minute. Everyone was walking quickly in the same city, in their own world. In attempts to break out of mold you can find yourself in an entirely new puzzle that is a matched set. In contrast to other cities I’ve traveled to and lived in, here in New York, standing out is the best way to blend in. The people you spend your days with affect the person you become. The city is more alive than I ever could have imagined and she will change you in ways you wouldn’t expect.
