New York has been my home for so long that I cannot imagine living anywhere else, which is precisely why I need to get a move on. Its time for a new adventure, to learn a new city, to experience a new place, and to make new friends.
I will miss so many things NYC has to offer: food, culture, sites, walking along Elizabeth Street, the lights, but most of all I will miss the people I have encountered here. I'm not good at goodbyes (who is?), so I'll take a phrase from my childhood and leave you with the quote:
'TTFN: Ta Ta For Now."
- Tigger
