Adding to the "leaving NYC" genre

This is an essay (of sorts). It’s about moving to New York, and it’s about leaving New York. But also, it’s about everything that happened in between. It’s about terrible jobs and the beginnings of burnout. It’s about living in a tiny NYC apartment. It’s about spending a lot of time alone. It’s about seeing the dark underbelly of all my adolescent dreams.  

And it’s about hoping, one day, to come back to NYC. Somehow, despite everything, it’s still a dream.
