you know what’s great about new york? the threshold for citizenship as a new yorker is actually pretty short. like, if you come to new york and you still like it two years after you arrive here and you still think its great and you’re having a good time and you haven’t been totally ground down and go limping back to wherever the fuck you came from… you know what? you’re in.

NY has definitely ruined me for living anywhere else.
No matter where I am, I’m pretty sure it will always be “well, when I lived in NY, the streets were paved in gold…” And I’ll probably never mention all the shit you have to dig through before you get to that golden glorious-ness.
…The golden glorious-ness is there though. It’s really and truly there.
