“I’d known since I was five, when my parents forced me to move to California, that I was going to live in New York eventually, and that everything in between was just a horrible intermission. I’d spent those sixteen years imagining what New York was going to be like. I thought it was going to be the most exciting, magical, fraught-with-possibility place you could ever live in; a place where if you really wanted something, you might be able to get it; a place where I’d be surrounded by people I was dying to be with. And I turned out to be right.“

my favorite moment

About a month ago, I sipped pink lemonade on a very cold New York City friday.  My dad sat across the table from me at a small restaurant we stumbled upon while walking back to our hotel after a meeting at The Fashion Institute of Technology.  I was rambling on about life in general as he nodded along. 

He looked at me with the same blue eyes that I see everyday in the mirror and said, "You know...You're a little wierd...unique I mean...but You make absolutely no excuses for being exactly who you are.  That's admirable.  Not many people do that."  


 that, right there, was the highlight of my trip to New York.
