Today was an interesting day. It was unusually warm, unusually nice for November. My boyfriend Mo and I decided to walk across the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh bridge (titlecheck?) because of the weather. For some reason fall, and warm weather equal college in my mind.
I originally thought that I knew where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do. I wanted to pursue journalism and go to college in the city. New York City is where my heart is, it probably always will be. When I go, whether it be Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, or any borough, I feel like I belong. Something in my body attaches me to New York.
However, today I felt like I shouldn't limit myself. Who says I can't end up there later than life? Not to say its not still my first choice, it always will be, but I started thinking of other possibilities.
London, California, Connecticut, Phoenix. I wouldn't mind experiencing a new place for once. This is the first step towards my future, our future, I told him. I want to get out there, see new things. I don't want to be limited to a place that is far too close to home.
