it's 12:06am on a now-wednesday evening and i look out my bedroom and see dots of light, near and far, receding into the darkness... it's comforting realizing how many people are still awake, whether it be for work or pleasure, insomnia, boredom, partying, or playing... they're awake and it's visible and the sounds never cease and life is okay. everywhere. in this building, 100 beekman, the 23rd floor where the brooklyn bridge lights up the hudson river and the burrough across the way looks just as exciting and glamorous as everyone believes new york to be... i still have no idea if it is or not, but i am only entering my seventh day in this city and i think it will soon be time to leave the island. i've been uptown, downtown, little italy, the upper west side, battery park city, wall street, the west village, soho, times square, mid town... there's still chinatown, tribeca, the upper east side, the east village, the meatpacking district, greenwich village, chelsea to discover and everything to really explore. but it's coming. and trips to boston and d.c. are already in the planning and implementing stages.
i miss my friends, the boy, the sun, my freedom... and while the stars still aren't visible, the headlights of the passing cars and the building lights across the river in brooklyn seem almost as hopeful right now...
