New York City is Never Never land.
Imagine if we lived radically honest and naked lives.
We told the truth, all the time. We stopped dancing on eggshells. We eliminated secrets. We cut out the filters between our brains and our mouths.
Instead of a passive “no worries,” we tell our friend he pissed us off. We stop saying…
It’s just kind of a thing you get used here. Infested mattresses on the sidewalk, that is. Not the idea of getting them. That would of course never happen to you. It’s only ever a possibility for the other 8.5 Million people of New York. Ew.
Note: This is actually a mock mattress made out of a cardboard box. Did you really think I’d get that close to a mattress infested with bed bugs? Silly you.
Sometimes you just have to find a shelf for those thoughts that terrorize your mind. Put them to rest for awhile. Don’t worry. They’ll still be there when you return.
In the beginning, you only see the best in people. You overlook the bad, to a fault. Be careful. This will inevitably hurt you.
