9 years, 9 neighborhoods

in the last 6 months i've gone through a decent amount of changes in my life: started a new job, said goodbye to a two year relationship, and moved into a different neighborhood.

in the 9 years i've been in nyc, i've lived in 9 different neighborhoods:
(in chronological order):
east village
chinatown
lower east side 
financial district
murray hill
astoria
union square
upper east
and now,
upper west.

there are times i find myself in one of the "older" neighborhoods and can't help but think about the same
faded
memories

some more recent than others,
they all linger, one way or another-
the person i was then, significant others, where i was in my life,
milestones.

my memories in the 9 years spent here, both old & new take place within a span that's only 13 miles long x 2 miles wide
it's funny how big and small the city can feel at the same time

with summer slowly winding down, i'm excited for these changes to become a little more stable

life is always about transitions
and timing.
