Ahhhhh. New York. Lol I’m laughing while I’m writing this cause whew! You just can’t prepare for this. No matter what you think it’s going to be like, it’s a whole experience. It’s interesting. It’s an adjustment. It’s challenging. It’s amazing. I asked for New York to break me down and build me up again, I literally said it in my first post. Be careful what you wish for 😂 but seriously I’ve learned a lot about myself, I’ve had so much fun along with several breakdowns, missed trains and WTF moments. New York has shown me you aren’t getting anything without a fight regardless of the plethora of opportunities around. I’m excited about building this next layer of strength and character within myself. It’s not easy but I know If I stick with it, my time will come. My favorite thing about living in New York is all the different types of people, their stories and expressions. I’ve met so many talented, good hearted people who just want to be great at what they do or already are.
What’s your favorite thing about your city?

I really got caught up in doing it for the gram that I forgot why I was doing this for myself. I promised myself to be authentic, to share the good, bad and ugly but I found myself trying to force the ugly into a closet. 🍁 Two things I’ve learned:
1. Some parts of your journey are sacred. Everything doesn’t need to be shared in real time or ever because some things you just have to go through and you have to go through alone.
2. I’m a human being. I have fears, dreams, feelings etc. I can preach to people to not be afraid to make mistakes and still be afraid to make some of my own. I can say failure is a stepping block to success and still feel devastated by my failures.
It’s okay wherever you are on your journey, it’s okay to feel the way you do, it’s okay to just be, it’s okay to live a life that others don’t understand. The only thing that matters is progress and getting back in the ring for the next fight.
