New York Day 2.
My second day in New York was a truly a changing moment in my life.
I fell in love with the city in a way that you only hear about in songs, it was a sigh of relief to fall in love again and feel completely comfortable at home.
We went for breakfast at a diner and it was the biggest breakfast i have had ever, i had french toast and canadian bacon.
Today was a day that we would see the statue of liberty and see the manhattan skyline by going of the Circle Cruise.
I was speechless on the boat looking at the buildings from the river. I have only been in awe once before when I saw the Mona Lisa in Paris. This feeling of seeing the New York skyline beat that feeling ten fold.
We also saw the intrepid but didnt ho on there as we were going to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to see the skyline at night.
It was so peaceful and i felt like i was the smallest person in the world and all my issues and problems were gone here. I felt as I stared at the beauty of the night and the buildings that everything is okay and life is doing fine.
There is an episode of Dawson’s Creek called “Eastern Standard Time” where Joey Potter goes to New York for the first time and has dinner with her Jen’s Dad. The conversation goes like this:-
Mr. Lindley: Big? Yeah, no kidding it’s big. It’s the biggest city in the country. Even though the island itself doesn’t have that much space. But it’s amazing, you know, I have lived here for 30 years, and, uh, it still continues to surprise me every day. Joey: How? Mr. Lindley: How what? Joey: How does it surprise you every day? Mr. Lindley: Good question. A city like New York where everything’s moving all the time at this constant driving pace, right? It’s like a living organism breathing and changing, and over time your relationship to it becomes like this incredible romance, you know? At first, it’s intoxicating, irresistible, and then slowly it becomes comfortable and safe. You have this cellular connection to it, as if you’ve known each other forever, like your oldest happiness, and sometimes you’re on the outs, and sometimes you’re making up, and every now and then you catch yourself in this transcendent moment where you think to yourself, “oh, my god, I’m madly in love with you, and I always will be.” And I think that’s when it surprises me. Joey: Whoa, that’s a good answer.That’s how i felt about New York this day and will do because of the second day in New York.
