jaboukie young-white said this on the so true podcast and its is … so true. except replace brooklyn with where you call home. there are some places that are so drastically different but i like the idea of looking for familiarity in newness :)

I’m from the midwest, moved to manhattan for college, stayed for a bit after, have recently moved to a few different cities, and have wished to be back living in new york ever since. It’s often talked about like a thrilling dream— it’s obviously not. But what I can say is that I think in many ways living there helped me grow into a person I really understand. I was listening to a podcast recently where this comedian brittany carney said something like living in new york slaps her in the face every day but she likes that about it so she stays. I think that was a pretty accurate way to describe it. It took me a while to feel comfortable living there, but I still remember the moment I realized that it had become my home, and ever since no home I’ve made for myself has felt quite the same.

But I did want to say that although it feels overwhelming now and you might feel a bit unsure of living in a new place, Williamsburg is such a wonderful place filled with amazing humans and things to do. You’ll find your flock soon and they’ll help you make sense of all the things living in Brooklyn offers. Truly so so so excited for you, you’re in one of the best places to live (super biased) and a few weeks from now once you have a firmer grasp on things you’re going to be thriving and having the greatest typical Brooklyn summer. Hyped for you.
(My only rec that I’m also real biased about is Roberta’s, just make sure it’s the one on the edge of East Williamsburg right in Bushwick. Spent many nights there consuming pizza. Enjoy!)

I like the idea of living as if i all of sudden have all the free time in the world. trying things i’ve never tried. developing new hobbies. maybe even golfing.
