Life Lately:
NYC, NYC, and more NYC
I don't know if anyone remember this, but a couple years back I had planned on moving to NYC...and unfortunately those plans fell through. But I guess it's not so unfortunate because things worked out for the better anyway :] Because now, I'm in a better position to make big moves. And now, I'm ready to start prepping for the move. And this is how it happened...
This last November I visited New York, great timing too...got to celebrate one of my good friend's birthday with her AND I was very fortunate to meet a whole bunch of amazing new friends! I love that, meeting new people who happen to be fabulous, and genuinely so! Not to mention I finally got to see the "off Broadway" production "Sleep No More" as well! And let me tell you!...I had been obsessing and dreaming of that production since the first night I stumbled upon it while searching for shows to see in NYC during my stay. "Sleep No More" is thrillingly intoxicating and utterly fascinating...but that's all I can say for now...I'll save the rest of what I have to say for another blog dedicated entirely to SNM.
But aside from all the partying I was partaking in, I also did a lot of exploring on my own. It was really, really nice. This was actually the first trip I'd ever taken on my own, and somewhere amidst all the parties, bars, conversations, and sights I somehow had fallen right back into the intention of moving to NYC, and the priority level put it right at the top of my list. My love for the city had been reawakened with a vengeance, and truthfully, my heartstrings have never known a stronger pull.
I told my family, and happily the consensus was clear I had everyone's support.
And here goes my big fat #TALKTOTHEHAND to everyone who has doubts about my ability to live in the city. Many people act as if it will be miserable and near impossible because NYC is so expensive. They try to play it off as friendly advice, but it just comes off as "I'm shitting on your parade." I mean I'm open to tips and advice, but don't sit there and list things like you're gonna need a job, it's one of the most expensive places to live, it gets really cold...and pretty much anything negative about New York. It just frustrates me that people automatically assume that I'm not doing what I can to save up as much money as I can to hold myself over in the unlikely event that I don't already have a job lined up for myself upon arriving. I'm pretty positive I'll already have a job, but if I don't, I know it won't be hard to find a full time service job somewhere in the city. And I say service job because that's what I'd be doing...until I get my cosmetology license...which depending on NY state laws could be a long, or a short process. And I know that there's a glory attached to NYC where people automatically assume that if you're moving to NYC for a job it's some sort of badass high salary corporate job in Downtown Manhattan, but in my life, that's not the case. My dream is to live in the city...not make it big. One day sure, but for right now, just getting myself there and residing in one of the 5 boroughs would be a dream come true....granting my own wish really takes the cake with this one.
As far as the cold weather...well there's these things that are pretty common and popular in the winter season, they're called...winter clothes....I have them, and I know how to layer them, voila. Haha! Anyway...I'm planning on moving out there no later than this coming May :] But I'll be there again in January for a week and hopefully I can get some job interviews in while I'm there! If not I'll be back again in March or April strictly for job interviews.
Below are some pictures and video montages of my trip <3
PS...If anyone could help me out with a job, or knows of any job opportunities please please PLEASE let me know! That would be amazing! Just thought I'd ask :]
XOXO,
