New York City

I live here but I don't feel like I do since I'm in an outer borough. There is something about living on the overcrowded island of Manhattan that makes me breath in New York City in a much more full bodied more complete experience.

It's the corner stores, Bodega's on every block that are open 24 hours a day it's the constant influx of people from all walks of life a that are walking down the street searching for themselves and loosing themselves to the temptations all around.

There is something deep with in the heart of Manhattan neighborhoods that affect all who enter even those who don't live there. Its that thing that releases fear and inhibition, that lets you open up to a perfect stranger. It lets you feel joy in giving directions, or telling tourist your favorite movie theater with the most comfortable seats or off-off-off Broadway finge show, and the best place to get fallafel.

The New York feeling that brings a group of people stuck on a train together in sharing stories about their life is what I'm typing about. Manhattan brings out a feeling of togetherness. We look into the eyes of the people around us in the city who feel alone and are yearning to find themselves through connections with those around us, we look into their eyes and we know In this big big city we are not alone!
