I moved by myself to New York City at 18 so I write about some of my experiences. Mostly my love/hate relationship with the city, in the form of short poems and stream of consciousness thoughts. I don't remember most of my time spent in the city. 

I'm not a writer, but my brain is always moving. I hope you enjoy some of these words that I've finally decided after years of internal debate to publish.
