New York 230

So, I'm just visiting the NYC , not actually living here. But let me tell you, New York City has this crazy allure that gets me thinking. It's like a magnet for everything I want in life, you know? But for some reason, I hold back from fully diving into it. Cities, they're like these epicenters of excitement where you can discover yourself and maybe even find that special someone. You see couples everywhere, hand in hand, sharing sweet moments, and it hits me right in the feels. It's a mixed bag, really. On one hand, it's cool to witness all these connections, and it gives me hope. But on the other hand, it can make me feel pretty damn lonely. I've been in this self-isolation mode escaping into the mountains and finding beauty in climbing. Ive kept to myself and it's made me a bit guarded over the past few years. Trusting someone across the table ain't easy anymore, you know? It's like I'm looking at it all through this lens of solitude, which makes it harder to take that leap of faith and open up to someone new.
