A Letter to New York City

























All pictures posted were taken by @Miss_NYCity


Dear New York,

You are crazy, overpopulated, and distracting. You are filled with millions of people who visit from thousands of places around the world. You have created a substantial blend of cultures. A city like no other. Occasionally, I get yelled at by fellow New Yorkers who are frustrated from the stress that the city streets bring. On other occasions, I am the one yelling. Whether it's on the bus, train, or car there is always something new brewing. It may be the people, it might be a sign, a performance on the train or a new food invention. One thing you never are is boring. 

As much as I hate rush hour traffic...as much as I can't stand the way my mind and body has been pre-programmed to severe multitasking and rushing, you are home. You are a magnet to people all over the world. Your fast pace, your bright lights, your skyline. Everyone wants to come once in their life to get a taste of the New York experience. A taste of this culture, a taste of the fast pace, bright lights, and food. People wish to move here to make you home. People move here and make you home. There is a strength that you give people. A desire, a lust, a love, a home. You are one of a kind. 

You weren't built over night and you wouldn't be you if it weren't for the multitude of immigrants who first came through New York Harbor. It is these people who were the beginning to an amazing culture and city. I want to thank you for being so different. So welcoming. So unbiased. So cultured. So open. It is because of you, that I am me.

To a strong, beautiful city.

I love you!
