NYC

WOW I JUST REALIZED HOW LONG ITS BEEN SINCE I HAVE SIGNED INTO THIS THING. IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM AM I GOING TO ATTEMPT TO CATCH THE WORLD WIDE WEB ON MY LIFE SO I GUESS ILL JUST START WITH THE PAST WEEK OR SO.

LAST WEEK I WENT ON A TRIP TO NYC. IT WAS GREAT TO BE IN A BIG CITY AGAIN FOR MORE THAN JUST FIVE MIN. IT REMINDED ME OF MY LOVE FOR PEOPLE, THE FAST PACE, AND THE INDESCRIBABLE SMELL THAT ONLY SMOG, TRASH, AND URINE CAN GIVE YOU. I FELT LIKE A LOST KID IN A DEPARTMENT STORE. THE EXCITEMENT/ FEAR OF GETTING LOST AND THE FEELING OF WALKING AROUND LOOKING UP WITH YOUR HEAD ON A SWIVEL AND YOUR MOUTH WIDE OPEN IN AW OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT PLACE IS GIGANTIC AND FULL OF LIFE. WE STAYED IN HARLEM AND IT REMINDED ME OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE ATTITUDES, THE FEELING OF SURVIVAL THAT WAS IN THE AIR.

THE THING I NOTICED THE MOST ABOUT NYC WAS NOT THE GIGANTIC BUILDINGS, THE FASHION OR JUST THE INSANE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE, IT WAS THE WEIRD LOVE THAT WAS IN THE AIR. WITH EVERY TRAIN I TOOK WITH EVERY BLOCK I WALKED AND WITH EVERY MEAL I ATE I COULD SEE PEOPLE IN LOVE AND ACTIVELY SHOWING IT. I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS IN A HIGHER POPULATED AREA THAN THE 419 BUT NONE THE LESS IT WAS RELEVANT. IT REMINDED ME OF SO MANY THINGS. THE THINGS THAT I FIND IMPORTANT. IT REMINDED ME OF SIGNS AND WONDERS. IT REMINDED ME THAT ITS ALWAYS THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT MATTER. I FEEL LIKE I LEFT NYC REMINDED THAT ITS OK TO LOVE AND TO LET IT BE KNOWN. ITS OK TO BE PROUD IN THAT MOMENT AND TO SHARE IT WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE
