Thoughts about books and shows that were taken in New York, I explore how New York is shown to us, especially for women chasing dreams. It's part daydream, part reality check - about imagining a life I don't have, while feeling stuck in the one I do. It's messy, honest, and still in progress. And it's mine. And I'll keep working on this till the day I get to be there.
