It's Monday night but I can't help but think about how great yesterday was. I slept in. Did laundry (across the street) and went for a glorious walk. I ventured to the Flat Iron building for lunch then walked to Washington Square park. the weather was glorious and the people watching was on point.

There was a guy there setting up papers on this presentation thing. He was collecting stories of people in NYC and had some examples up for people to see what he was doing with them. It was so interesting reading other peoples stories of how they got here and what they have been through. People's live are so amazing.  I wished I had shared mine. I didn't. I think it is because mine still doesn't feel real. Living here doesn't feel real. Everything that has happened in the past 3 months still feels like a blur.

Not sharing my story with that guy in Washington Square Park has been my biggest regret since moving here. I'm still not as gutsy as I want to be. I'm not confident in who I am. I'm still trying to figure that out.

 I walked home from there (making a pit stop at Eataly first for gelato) It was a perfect evening to myself. I love just walking in this city. It makes me so happy to just be and go wherever I want.

Tonight I walked to Lincoln Center thru central park then down 5th avenue. My favorite place to walk through is 30 Rock. It is so beautiful at night. I can't wait until christmas when the tree is up.
