It's amazing how much better I felt when I woke up this morning. It was like I could actually relax and go have a fun day of walking adventures. Knowing that I have an income in the immediate future provides me tremendous relief.
NYC is just one of those cities where you don't want to go broke.
But to be perfectly honest, it's more than just a financial relief. When you uproot your life and move to a huge city such as this, it is very unsettling to not have certain things in order. It felt good to wake up today and know I have somewhere to be on Monday at a certain time. To know that I fit in and that I am respected by managers and so on is something that brings me great contentment.
It is a nice feeling to be able to meet new people and have something in common, even if it is only our place of employment. It just feels good.
I feel like I'm part of it now; like I'm really here.
I know that the next major box to check off will be to actually find my very own room to rent. But for now, I'm really happy.
I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is to have good friends. My almost instant transition to the city would not have been so seamless if it were not for my friends here in NY.
These amazing individuals have been looking out for me, networking, calling, texting, e-mailing, sending out my resumes, apartment hunting and teaching me all about the public transit system. I honestly don't know if I could have, or would have even wanted to do this without them.
I think today I just feel so much gratitude. I have the most loving friends and family. I have a new job that will provide some stability. And I have this great big delicious city, to dive into, head first.
I just don't think I could ask for much more.
