Wow, thanks for the sweet shout-out at the start of your post, Anne—my body literally jolted back in my chair when I saw my name, haha!
I've never understood why I wasn't born in New York. When I was a teen, I had a friend who was the sort of person who'd bring home people she met in the park. She once befriended a young man from New York…

I've never understood why I wasn't born in New York. When I was a teen, I had a friend who was the sort of person who'd bring home people she met in the park. She once befriended a young man from New York who was traveling in the area. He had a head of curly hair and a thick (I believe) Brooklyn accent—kind of reminiscent of Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter. I was fascinated by him. I also read Fran Lebowitz's Metropolitan Life when I was 18 and was forever marked by it. Woody Allen was my favourite director... you get the picture.
But here I am. HAVING A TERRIBLE LIFE BECAUSE I'M NOT IN NEW YORK
"I've never understood why I wasn't born in New York." I love this! I feel the same. I started wanting to move here when I was six years old and can't exactly say why. I just KNEW.
It's not too late! It'd be so fun to have you here!!
Ah, you are sweet! I don't see me moving to New York—unless I win the lottery, in which case I'll definitely buy an apartment overlooking the park. But I WILL be back!
