DAY.TWENTY> New York, New York

A day unlike no other. Set apart from the rest. One place that can really make my day shine and illuminate it literally and figuratively. Really no place in the world like it (from what I've seen so far).. They say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. I believe that to be true. When people say "the city" it's obvious which one they are talking about. No other place quite measures up to New York. A melting pot in its own for its cultures, traditions, languages, employment, food, and adventure. Millions jam packed into a few avenues and streets! Truly this atmosphere must be created due to that very fact. As I stepped out of my car parked on 2nd ave I had to get to the very corner to even realize this. I was there. I hadn't been in a while like this at night but there I was. Looking up to the never-ending buildings and shielding my eyes from the lights that line the streets that need no streetlights. I was being welcomed by the air which at 8pm was cooler and crisper than it had been all day but was just the way I liked it.

I wondered if everyone had a place like this. What do you think yours is? A place where you can go and get away if only for a little while. A place that welcomes you and you feel like you're on top of the world - maybe that you can go and think or just let loose and let your worries slip away. I think we need that. I think it is important that we know this about ourselves. Sounds strange but isn't it important to know these things about ourselves? We might never think of it. But I'd like to know what makes me tick so I can watch out for those things. What makes me happy, so I can pursue those. And where I'd go to let go! Can you answer these questions?
