Ive been in New York City for a week today. After feeling a bit underwhelmed upon my arrival, seven days later its slowly sinking in that I am not returning to my "life" before. I am filled with both excitement and fear. My company, artist and designers all very talented and from successful families, who not exactly struggling but all seem to have this overhanging sense of defeat. At the same time, they have such a community built around their love of beauty in which form they choose to express. Its a great thing to watch.
My roommate and I live in Greenpoint, said to be one of the best neighborhoods in Brooklyn, yet we have no furniture and are sleeping in the same bed, until we can afford to furnish our apartment. This sounds pathetic but, there a hope here in New York that isn't in most places. Everything and everyone is here and up to you to make use of the city and its resources.

It can be tough living in NYC, but there's so much energy here that sometimes it's easier to make sacrifices to be part of that energy. Hope things turn out well soon.
