last night, i dreamt that i needed to go back to NYC to bring back rest of my stuff and to hang out with my friend marc.
during dinner, i asked tyler where he lives. he said "new york" and continued to say "A train broken, C train broken"
then i overheard the conversation at the next table over about new york. they were talking about where korea town is in manhattan. i wanted to go over and tell them exactly where it is.
tonight, i was watching blue bloods. for the duration of the show, i felt like i was back in NYC. and as soon as the show ended, the news came on... and then realized i was in CA.
i miss new york. i miss it so much. i miss the weather... yes, the cold freezing weather. i miss being able to bundle up. i miss being able to just walk down the street to grab coffee with a friend. i miss taking the subway. i miss the museums. i miss my church. i miss my friends who lived across the street. i miss it all!
life style is so different here.
going back almost 8 years... i went to NYC just for two weeks to go through some job interviews. i had some great interviews... but i needed to be in NYC for at least a month to actually land a job. i went back to LA. thought i would just not go back. well, come august, my parents suggested i go to NYC and live there for a month. so went. just a month turned into 7 1/2 years. i landed a freelance job my 2nd day in NYC at osh kosh b'gosh as assistant designer. that led to jobs at DVF - even saw the lady herself! she'd come in something fabulous...then changed to knit shirt and scrubs. but still looked amazing! then worked at betsey johnson...and worked with betsey herself. she was AMAZING. and also worked at ann taylor, victoria's secret... and so many more companies. not every company i worked at was amazing but learned a lot at each job.
7 1/2 year later, i'm back in CA. being here, driving.... relearning the roads....the sunny weather... yes... i said it. the sunny weather. it's going to take some getting used to
after having experienced this.... when tyler (or our future kid) comes to me and tells me they want to live in NYC or go to europe and live there for a year, i will do my best to support them 100%.
i'm so thankful for my parents who let me do this. everyone else may have thought they were crazy to let me do it. i'm so glad they let me be a new yorker for the past 7 1/2 years. :)
new york... i will miss you. tyler and i will be back. can't stay away for too long.
