My girls and my city
These are my 2 major loves. For the same reasons.
I could never bore of my girls and NYC. I will always make time to spontaneously go out to see them. I love NYC: for its diversity, history, arts, food, cultural events. We have instant access to the arts. The city taught me to be open-minded and tolerant. I have so much love for my girls; how they are always there for me. I'm grateful for how much they exposed me to different experiences I never would have otherwise found myself in. My girls show me so much to learn from. It is rough that I won't get to be there for them in the way distance separates us somewhat. I know I am potentially going to miss out on major events in the lives of my little spiritual sisters.
What I love about my girls(my fleshly sisters, my wing-women, older spiritual sisters and well as my little future-pioneer-cutie-patooties) as well as NYC its that it is always changing. Change can be difficult. Still, change is exciting. Change is progressive. As hard as change can be, change is life.
I still feel kind of unsure of this move and yet am ready for novelty at the same time. I long for NYC summers and embrace new experiences at the same time. I'm a walking paradox. And that is okay.
What keeps me going is that others feel this way about change, too. It is unnerving. I may feel this way now, and soon someone else may go through it soon after me. What keeps me positive about the move is that the truth is the truth all around the world.
And so the countdown begins. 10 days left in my beloved city, with my family, family in Kissena Park congregation and friends.
