Jolt
I needed a jolt to my life so I decided to move to New York.
I had been considering it for a while and finally stopped with the excuses and did it last week!
It’s definitely provided the jolt that I was looking for so far. I’ve actually never lived in a big city before (not even San Francisco), so I’m taking it all in and enjoying the good and the challenging.
Not looking forward to having to go to a laundromat to do laundry, but there’s an energy here that’s hard to ignore.
Walking around, it feels like the center of the universe, where there’s so many people around and so many things going on, but no one gives a shit about you.
It can be easy to feel lost in it all.
It’s such a jarring juxtaposition that I didn’t feel when I’ve visited in the past. It’s exciting, scary, and dreamy all wrapped up in one.
I watched the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once yesterday (would highly recommend btw) and it really resonated with me how every decision could’ve led to a completely different path in life, which can be overwhelming to think about and lead to regrets about missed opportunities, but through it all, a constant we can control is to be kind, and love.
A decision on business school could’ve brought me to New York three years ago, but I chose a different path, and well here I am now: ready to experience what this city has in store for me, with open eyes and an open heart.
Just needed a little jolt to remind me of some of the reasons why life is so amazing.
