This Life
A Space for Personal Musings

My love, New York

3/16/2014

I fell out of Love with NY once. And so I went away, to Ghana. And thought, every day, of NY. And then I went to Korea. And Togo. Bali too. Everywhere I went, I thought of NY. Every time I came home to visit my old lover, people stopped me on the streets and in the subway to tell me that I looked so happy. Radiant, I believe, is the word that they used. Policemen welcomed me HOME. Bartenders bought me drinks. Taxi drivers turned off their meters. Clearly, the city was seducing me. 

And so I decided it was time to give this love another chance. 

It's comforting to know that some loves will give you the space to stretch and grow, explore who you are, experience other lovers, and still welcome you in with open arms. 

New York is a different city now; I am a different girl. And still, I have fallen in love all over again. Just like this post says I would.

Really beautiful, I didn't really know you in bali.
But feel drawn to your beautiful photos and lovely blog.

It was not love at first sight for us (me and NY). But, yes, the city absolutely seduced me.
