FUCK NEW YORK

I spent my 20s in nyc and it was iconic. Now my journey is complete and I’m ready for a different vibe. Good luck to anyone moving ❤

I moved to New York on my own all the way from England! So Don’t listen to people who doubt you, they are just projecting themselves onto you, just because they can’t move here lol. people used to tell me that I’ll never make it here or move here, well i proved them all wrong because I’ve been living in New York for almost 3 years now.

I know how tough it was living up there at times when it came to loneliness. Also, lyfts and Ubers were like 80-100 dollars when I was up there a few days ago for a week long visit.

5:43 RATS TALKIN'. omgg lolllll I imagine a bunch of rats in a cluster next to a garbage can talking and fighting while you're trying to sip your latte in an outdoor cafe. You summed up in that one phrase how NASTY New York is. You touched on a LOT of REAL topics. But you didn't touch on the ODORS and SMELLS of the city. Lack of proper sanitation/hygiene is an ever-present issue. There's always a wall of bu-dunk funk that hits you at any given time as you walk the streets or enter subways, mix of garbage and urine on the sidewalks -- especially whenever it gets warm. Also your shoes, bags and clothes will be CONSTANTLY DIRTY from just the daily grime of the city. NYC gets SO MANY PASSES on being nasty as h**** by people so "in love" with city. It gets away with things that even cities like L.A. or S.F. or Miami or any other big city would be vilified for.

That's like moving during this pandemic where people cannot be avicted and staying rent free on purpose. Bad advice.Stick to places you CAN make ends meet.
