I don’t get why people say New Yorkers aren’t nice. I’ve had lovely conversations with people all over the city today:
I had a nice chat with a lady at the zoo about wallabies.
I had a laugh with a girl working at a shoe store over her fear of birds.
I sat near some nice people in a Thai restaurant who were talking with me for a while completely unprompted.

All of this packing
and repacking and goodbye business is making my life into a series of panic attacks and shortness of breath.
But I know I can do this. I know I can.
Today just chewed me up
and spat me out.
(I really am excited, but right now is just so hard.)
