“We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.”
“I believe you can speak things into existence.”

Many things happen when you fall in love. Your cells rearrange themselves like furniture in your penthouse over looking central park. Your beyond the milky way with this love. Your soaring where there is no landing pad or safety net in sight, but you aren't concerned with that because your hair is blowing in the wind and you're free. They say when you know, you just know. It's a state of mind that drives you home.
When I decided to move to New York City I felt that exact state of mind; New York State of mind .If you have never been in love before or if you are too afraid to jump in again, my methods aren't for you. Because It is my belief that the most epic of moves and the most worth while acts come from being in love. Over the top, sweep me off my feet, all the cards on the table, nothing and everything makes sense state of mind.
And what better moves to make than with the city that never sleeps, the big Apple. A city certainly worth going the distance for. Because that's the thing about love; when it hits your eyes are kaleidoscopes and you have to give it all you've got or nothing at all. So i'm in deep. Couldn't be happier.
Some people tell me New York City will be rough on me. Drastic seasons, drastic people, drastic attitudes. Yet, drastic times call for drastic measures. My whole life I have been cradled by San Francisco, an incredible city of mine. Still, it's time to get rocked by another. Rocked by east coast time, which seems to race ahead of the world and the eastern light that gives me chills at dusk and dawn. It was drastic falling for Salvador, Brazil. A city who's language and culture moved barriers into bridges for me in a matter of six months. As always you are the captain of your own hero's journey and all the moves you make, between the drastic and the mundane, are your cornerstones and milestones, that seem to create themselves.
16 days until I plunge eastward. For now it's states of mind and the fever of new love.
