NEW YORK CITY

A complete collection of all expectations, realized or otherwise. She is not a physical place so much as a secret room that thrives deep inside the hearts of all of us. A shared mindset of every driven person combined into a beautiful Olympics that allows us all to admit that both opportunity and failure are emanate, endless and equally beautiful. For those fortunate enough to happen upon her, you will soon be forced to embrace her tragic whims whole-heartedly or exit her arms immediately and completely.

She writes a well lit but illegible truth across the mouths of poets and architects alike that screams there are no rules in this game nor will there ever be. Your ascent or destruction lies solely in your own hands, back and stomach and the will of the Divine. It is no chance that this wonder is an island, no coincidence that this excited geography lives alone. That is merely God’s best attempt at keeping such a thing away from the rest of the quieter world for both their peace and their inspiration.

Here the attraction and the trap both lie in realizing that there will forever be something waiting around the next corner…depend on this and it will only hinder you from relishing where you currently stand.

She is a perfect and fragile room in our heart that needs our love and attention almost as much as we need her in order to recognize to what extent we are capable of living.

SHE IS NEW YORK.
