This is me at my first apartment in NYC exactly 8

This is me at my first apartment in NYC exactly 8 years to the date I moved to the city. I got my dream work opportunity and went for it having never been to New York before. 1392 on a bustling 79th street on the upper east side. 🚖

I cried a lot here -- was so homesick, felt so alone in a city full of people. Set mouse traps here. I also felt so much excitement for living here -- had good times and felt like my dreams were coming to life here.

For so long after coming back to Chicago I couldn't watch movies set in New York. Anything New York related felt like a reminder that I failed having ultimately realized it wasn't for me.

Being back 8 years later I can see that it wasn't failing at all. I think back to that girl 8 years ago and I'm so proud of her. She went. for. it. (sometimes I'm like who was she?!)

And I think I needed to be reminded of her now -- a reminder that you can do hard things and that anything that feels so meant for you won't always be easy. It will come with the ups, the downs and the inbetweens but will 100% be worth it.

And the question is never "can I do this?" because you know you are capable but rather can I learn from this and find the joy in it even when it gets hard? I know now that's the beauty of it. 🧡🧡
