Grow up and go raw with your phone. It's so much slimmer to hold and in your pocket and people will be put on edge by how carefree you are. But really, it's a sign you have a healthy detachment to your technology. I drop my phone all the time and it's fine!

before my current phone I always bought secondhand. the only reason I got this one new was because I couldn’t afford the up front payment of a second hand phone so got a new one on contract to pay off over 3 years. Once my contract runs out I won’t be upgrading I’ll just keep this one until I run it into the ground or possibly sell it to buy a second hand one that has a less shit camera. My last iPhone I had longer than anyone thought was possible, and it was second hand to me! (iPhone SEs are almost unbreakableo swear). Ive never smashed an iPhone even after dropping it a lot (CASES PEOPLE CASES) and while I know planned obsolescence is a thing, I’ve found with phones that people use it to justify buying new ones much more than is necessary. I don’t buy any tech new if I can help it! Save the planet and save your money!

I long for when phones were only used for texting/calling. We need to bring back phones where you can’t play videos or even see pictures like. Personally we as a society need to go back to old technology. These smart phones are killing us slowly and we are enjoying it unfortunately.

My addition is the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown. Built into an old vaudeville theater, the food is solid but the atmosphere is absurd and a must see.

You trusted someone with your money or your heart or both, and then that person surprises you by fucking you over. fuck!
This sucks a lot and might mess you up pretty bad and make you lose faith in people, but on the other side there is the potential for new found strength as you now have *experience*.
Trusting people is such an essential thing, so after getting scammed when you eventually find ways to trust people again, you’ll do it with a better sense of who to give it to and how much to give and when. That’s a powerful thing, and not easy to understand until you’ve been burned.
Keep trusting, keep getting burned, but hopefully a little less so each time.

🏠decent living situation — awful roommates, deadbeat landlords, or psycho neighbors will make you super miserable so try to get this one locked down!
🫂 homies — making new friends can take a long time, but if you commit to putting yourself out there over and over you’ll connect with some truly inspiring and amazing people
🤑 income (even a little) — yes you can get by on dumplings, no Ubers, no bars, etc. but being broke here feels particularly like a prison because most things are stupid expensive. Be on your grind and then blissfully spend it all away
If you end up getting all 3 of these you’re probably gonna be hopelessly addicted to being here just like me. Welcome to NYC :)
