It's Exciting
I mean, everyone wants a little danger in their lives, right? If you wanted a safe and boring life you wouldn't be living here at all. Or, even worse than a safe life, is just a plain old easy life. Who doesn't want to struggle? Dead people. Dead people don't want to struggle. Even little babies want to struggle. Have you ever seen a baby reach for something that's just a little too far away? It's terrible and beautiful all at once because it's so human. And that's what living in New York is. We're all babies. We're all terrible and beautiful babies who get over-stimulated by the sounds and the lights and the moving objects and the people making funny faces. Living here means we're always young and always hungry and things are never easy and sometimes we shit ourselves because we just can't help it, but you know what? It's not that bad. Because we're alive.
