pipe dreams, stripe dreams.

In my first month of living in NYC, I've learned that New York plays by it's own rules. & that's definitely something I'm still adapting to. It's daunting when you think you have your shit together in most forms & then you realize you still have so much to learn about life. Comfort is boring. Comfort is an easy excuse. Do yourself a favor & throw yourself into the deep end every once in awhile & experience those terrifying dark shades of blue. Call me a masochist, but those up & down raw emotions are what I live for. They make me feel alive. & right now I'm just sitting back with a glass of red & enjoying the ride & all of the emotions. The good, the bad, & the crazy. & enjoying everyone I meet along the way. The good, the bad, & the crazy.

  2. I feel like if you and I could talk, we'd figure out pretty fast we're kindred spirits. Comfort is overrated. Live your dreams even if the idea makes you uncomfortable. Comfort is overrated. Enjoy the ride life has to offer :)
