It was really never a scary thing because I moved in with two of my closest friends from college and a lot of my other closest friends live in the city and have connected me with a lot of cool places and things and Iāve made a lot of new friends. I can walk to work in the mornings which rocks and everyday I spend time with some of my favorite people and when I get to reflect on it I realize how lucky I am.

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 āthe cityā and I felt like I hit a ceiling in San Francisco. Plus, Iād lived there nearly my entire life. Thus, I had a suspicion that if I couldnāt be happy in New York City, then I wouldn't be happy anywhere.
That was a little over six years ago now and Iām the happiest Iāve ever been. A LOT has happened here, and Iāve 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.
Iām sure I couldāve 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 lived in Massachusetts for 28 years until 1 year ago today when I moved to NYC. I was feeling stagnant and afraid that Iād be there forever if I didnāt make a change. I am happy to say it was one of the best decisions Iāve made. I donāt know if Iāll be here forever but Iāve learned more about myself in 1 year than the last 5 and thatās something Iāll always be thankful for. Iāve made new friends, reconnected with old, gotten a new job, moved apartments, and had an enumerable unforgettable memories.
If you are feeling stuck where you have always been, I recommend making a change because it will be both one of the more challenging and rewarding decisions you make.

Was watching a track star tik tok where this got played and they talked about it being one of the earliest metal songs and itās been on repeat since. As well as most of the white album and some Black Sabbath.

I was looking for records for my friend for a secret santa vinyl exchange. I had put this on on my flight and then found it joint custody in Washington DC where they had written āalbum of the yearā on the album sleeve. I think weāve all been loving it.
