It has probably been the most asked question since I came back to Ohio.
“Everything.”
Honestly, I love everything about New York City. I couldn’t quite put into words what’s so captivating about the city, but I know for a fact that I don’t see myself in another place besides New York.
I have already written a post on what I love about New York, but I feel the urge to reorganize my thoughts now that I have had all the time in Ohio to think about what I miss there.
Inspired by the 20 Best Cities in America to be Young, Broke and Single article on Money under 30, I have found the reason why I love New York.
As everybody knows, New York is a competitive hell. Like Jay-Z said, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Chances are, the people in the city have what it takes to “make it” here. In order for you to sustain yourself, you will find yourself constantly being challenged by talents and you just need to keep pushing your limits to keep up with it. Results? You will be striving for a better self – you might even discover something you never knew you could do!
I would have to agree that if you are the kind of people who loves an unchallenging lifestyle, always stick to the status quo and happy with just be stable, New York is not going to be for you. But as a career-oriented goal-driven woman, settling in Ohio won’t bring me anywhere.
I miss the passion that I had in the city.
As much as I will miss Oval Beach and the college town, I will have to say my farewells to Columbus once I graduate.
Days till graduation: 305.
Fake it till you make it.
