Monologue

As I stepped foot off of the plane, I knew I was ready for what was ahead of me. The thought of living in the greatest city in the world had me so excited that I couldn’t even form complete sentences. This had been my dream since I could remember, and nothing was going to spoil it. Days went by, and I finally moved into my new home. New faces appeared, as well as new surroundings, and I was very content with it all-nothing made me happier. Within my first few weeks, I have already made unbinding friendships and memories that will never fade from my mind. And I think the most exciting part of living in New York City is all of the opportunities it holds, as well as how, magically, the city makes everyone fall in love with it. I never thought I could love a place like I could love a person, but as always, New York is the one place that is different than the rest. Even the things that aren’t supposed to be loved, like the freezing cold mornings and the smell of the subway, still manage to make the city even more of a home, and make me fall in love all over again, as I did the first time I stepped foot into it. My life here is one that I couldn’t experience anywhere else, and this city will always hold a special piece of my heart, regardless of where I end up in the future.
