October 15, 2022 - “A euphoric nostalgia ––– a knowing”

Living in the city for too long can press down on you. You forget what wide open spaces look like, and feel like, you forget that the sun can shine across an entire mass of land without casting shadows across buildings, and you forget that you can look out and off into the distance and see for miles, and miles. It’s not so much a sadness that happens by staying here for too long without getting out into the wider world, but more like a euphoric nostalgia ––– a knowing that whatever you saw before you were only seeing New York again and again and again, is still out there, and that you can go back and see it again, whenever you want or need, probably soon, definitely not too many more days from now.
