This Quote From A Former Client Is The Concept Of My Life From Now On
“While I don’t have too many concrete plans for my future, I do know that I am done with hustling for a life I don’t even want.”
“I want what I want, when I want it!”

It is 2:17 AM, and during these late nights of sleeplessness I sometimes browse Zillow to view the housing stock in New York City. Why? I’m not entirely sure. All I know is that there is an internal tug-of-war going on between me moving to a new city and moving back to New York.
It’s interesting, because every time I look at what’s for sale in the Big Apple I get disappointed. Deep down inside I know that there’s nothing for me in New York, and I have no choice but to move on. NYC just doesn’t fit in with my current lifestyle goals. But there are times when I don’t want to expose myself to any more new levels and unfamiliar surroundings by moving again. Taking risks is exciting but tiring. I have done some pretty courageous things in such a short period of time, and I do crave some familiarity in my life, even if that familiarity is not the best for me.
I moved to the Concrete Jungle at a time in my life when I was willing to compromise on what I really wanted, in almost all areas of my life.
I was willing to work long hours at jobs that drained my energy.
I was willing to live anywhere in the city, even if it wasn’t where I wanted.
