sometimes when you’re deep IN something it’s hard to have perspective of what it looks like from outside. = me in 2013. after spending 2 whole years living in manhattan i begun to explore the other side of the river & became comfortable in a neighborhood of a different vibe from the upper east side/east village. once i landed in BK it opened my eyes to a different way. some will say brooklyn isn’t “the city” but visually SEEING the city daily unleashed a new motivation for me as a new yorker, proud to see with my eyes the place that had significantly changed me over the 2 years prior & which i could bike to in 10 minutes.
