This is the day I moved to New York. I was about to start grad school. I was filled with excitment over my new surroundings and friends. I had grown up in Arkansas and spent the previous 4 years in Boston. My entire life was new to me. I often wonder where I’d be now if I hadn’t had to courage to move here. Manhattan is an intimidating place for an Arkansawyer to find himself. I remember every time I’d take the bus into the city, when I was still looking for an apartment here, my entire body would just fill with nervous energy at first sight of the skyline. And the city was made endlessly more intimidating just 10 days later when that skyline changed forever. I had no idea just how much this city and the entire world were about to shift. But this place has been my home like no other ever since.
