I've been visiting quite a bit since last summer and while I initially found it overwhelming, I've been getting the hang of it and feel like it would be such a good environment for me with where I'm at in my life and what I want out of it Gotta land a job first though haha

New York is a horrible place! That being said, it is also a really good place. You can find a cheap apartment on Craigslist if you abandon fear and also abandon the expectation that your floors will be a normal angle. Source: I’m from there

I'm thinking of possibly moving to NYC in the future after college but I only know a handful of people in the city and the rent is insanely high

It was a big risk, but I was just laid off from a job I hated and had a fresh breakup on top of that. I had decent prospects as far as potential jobs go, but I wanted to stay in “the city” and I felt like I hit a ceiling in San Francisco. Plus, I’d lived there nearly my entire life. Thus, I had a suspicion that if I couldn’t be happy in New York City, then I wouldn't be happy anywhere. That was a little over six years ago now and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. A LOT has happened here, and I’ve dealt with a ton of grief, but man, I love it here. I have a great job, made some real friends and community, and am living outwardly as my truest self. I’m sure I could’ve had this in SF if I tried, and I know that this lifestyle will change inevitably, but I love living in a place with an energy that emanates throughout the city.

i know it's cliche but i really love it here! i really need a job here and more friends and a lover but i am taking time to appreciate what i do have which is the opportunity to live in such an amazing city with so many things happening all the time everywhere. i was never really a new york or nowhere person (and i'm still not, go wherever you want) but there is really nowhere i'd rather be right now :D

i have wanted to be there for as long as i can remember having wants but alas the american government seems to be a bit of a shitshow rn and moving any time soon would be a bad idea. coming to terms with this has been painful and sad and i have spent a long time trying to convince myself that because im a citizen and nyc is still better than other places it would be fine but staying in toronto is almost definitely safer + smarter. maybe ill learn french and move to montreal or maybe i’ll live in an apartment on ossington and pretend im in bushwick. idk it’ll be fine no matter what because i have survived all difficulties before this moment and will survive again.

think about it... incredibly nutritious, more vitamin c than oranges (!!) widely available and affordable so easy to prepare, you can literally steam them in the microwave and delicious! esp when roasted, i linked an easy recipe :) plus they look like cute little trees and you can pretend that you're a brachiosaurus or some shit munching on them greens straight up goated vegetable

I filed a complaint with a bunch of receipts to my city's rent board last month after my landlord notified me of another increase, and turns out she was in violation of increasing rent within 12 months following a previous rent increase The city just told my landlord to reimburse me the excess rent, and my current rent must remain in place until next March for her to be in compliance (she wanted to raise it another 10% in October lol)
