I never knew why people had babies. Now I do. They’re cheaper than a cleaning lady!
I just made myself a smoothie with my new blender and a moca à la Mud and I never even knew how much I missed my NY breakfast flavors… I am literally sitting here with tears in my eyes because I miss it so much.
I want my apartment back, I want my friends back, I want to be able to go eat at 4 am, hell, I even miss my deli-guy!
I am so scared of coming to visit because it will be like the most beautiful one-night-stand with the ex you still love but he doesn’t love you.
It is March and I have been gone for a year. I was planning to be back since 6 months already by now!
So what I want to say is:
New York, I love you and I miss you. And considering that Berlin is the new you, I still can’t get over you.
My thoughts circle around you night and day and when a friend mentions your name my stomach tightens up and it hurts.
I miss your noises and bad odor, I miss the way you scare me sometimes.
I miss the Magnolia tree on 9th street which probably by now has some tiny green buds.
I miss the rush of happiness that went through my body everytime I came back to you.
I miss my friends who wanted to stay up all night with me, talking and rehearsing.
There is a reason your name is inked into my skin.
