I got this weird itch...

Weird... it came out of NOWHERE!

The itch to move to New York City..
well.. i'd be lying if i told you it just appeared out of thin air..
these thoughts have lingered around my brain since i was in High School..
My dad and I even toured NYU when I was in High School...
sigh.. perchance to dream...

Then my best friend (3 of 4) Michelle.. moved there to Manhattan for almost
3 years.. and I LOVED LOVED LOVED every single minute of visiting her..

As much as I know she's loved the city...
it's always called me too..
keri! Your aunt and uncle are only a few subway stops away
and you would never be far from a home cooked ITALIAN meal no less...
and KERI!! You can get to know your cousins who you feel like you don't
know at all...
or KERI!!! imagine the autonomy you would feel amongst so many people..

I've always been a city girl..
in my head.. and mostly my heart..
Got the itch... looking at apartments on craigslist.
Hello... the rent is astronomical..
like selling your first child out there.
or the rights to your own art.. and your social security number.
damn..
3500 for a 1 br in tribeca..
Holy shit.. crazykins...

They have (4) Herman Miller Dealers in Manhattan.
(then again.. they have many in italy too - I've looked there too)
Who knows..

Reading this book "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert has kinda handed me
the itch, while reading about her explorations.. and her amazing words.
makes me want to get on that.

But an itch.. whilst being a big one (always has been)
will hold out a bit longer.
If I'm ever meant to go back to new york city
which I hope I am..
it's not right now..
i'm just starting a new chapter.
studio.. cards... good job... possible wedding bells.
and who knows ...

i'll always hold out for a chance to walk down the street
and ask myself "what the HELL do I want to do today?"

Nite.
