City Obsession

I'm currently sitting in Connecticut traffic en route to my favorite city on this side of the pond, New York.

The other day I realized that I have an obsession with New York. All my favorite TV shows are New York-based (30 Rock, Seinfeld, Sex and the City, Ugly Betty). Billy Joel is from New York (so is Alicia Keys). A large part of the music industry is in New York, as well as all my favorite places to eat.

You can't be bored in New York. If you are, then you're a boring person. I'm paraphrasing that a bit, but I believe it. The things to do in New York are endless. As are the opportunities, which is one of the main reasons I'm so in love with it. I feel like anything is possible in New York. I do believe that anything really is possible, but when I'm in Manhattan that feeling is multiplied by a million. Just the thought of it makes me smile.

In a few hours time, I will be walking through Grand Central to hop on a 4 train to my hotel. It's almost as if all my time spent in the city is practice for when I live there, and I will no longer need to obsess over a dream because it won't be a dream anymore.

It will be reality.
