Being a Midwesterner in any place but the Midwest feels so existential. In the city, especially. Take that and run. Explore.

Literally what is the point of living in a walkable city if you aren’t gonna run around. Galavant. Go into random places. Live.

While it may be cool to be a Brooklyn or Queens kid and hate on Manhattan, I will tell you what, nothing quite fills my soul like taking the train into the city to literally walk around. Cross town, uptown, downtown, diagonal town. I love to peep streets, stroll a museum, wander into a coffee shop, talk to a stranger and fully romanticize living my damn big city life.

I’m from the midwest, moved to manhattan for college, stayed for a bit after, have recently moved to a few different cities, and have wished to be back living in new york ever since. It’s often talked about like a thrilling dream— it’s obviously not. But what I can say is that I think in many ways living there helped me grow into a person I really understand. I was listening to a podcast recently where this comedian brittany carney said something like living in new york slaps her in the face every day but she likes that about it so she stays. I think that was a pretty accurate way to describe it. It took me a while to feel comfortable living there, but I still remember the moment I realized that it had become my home, and ever since no home I’ve made for myself has felt quite the same.

Doomscrolling on Facebook marketplace rather than T*kT*k (after pi of course). See what’s going on locally, these people are real too.

It’s so fckn chill to care for people. Go ahead, cry when an old person trips in the street. It is not a weak spot but a sign something much larger within you.
