By RYAN O’CONNELL
Move here when you’re 18 or 22, maybe even 24. Come from somewhere else-the north, south, west, Xanadu- and come to realize that everyone living in New York is a transplant.

“next time i’m in church, please no photos.”
sometimes i really just need to sit down and recognize the opportunities i’ve been given and truly be thankful for them. my future consists of a semester in paris, having my own apartment in nyc, hopefully adopting a cat. i’m pretty fuckin thankful.

i can say confidently i feel information can touch me much deeper now than it did when i was younger; i remember barely reacting when one of my grandmother’s died (i wasn’t even really that close to her) and never cried but now if i received that same information it would’ve been different. i recognize a different worth in people that i did when i was younger. a ha! i have...

-hooters restaurant, which yields a massive amount at 1, 490, 000 hits while hooters objectifying women results in 1, 790, 000. wait, what? i triple checked my sources. i.e. me. but seriously, what? the only reason i bring it up is because i’m having major qualms over whether i should try the wings i’ve heard so much about or potentially disobey my feminist...
things recently googled:
-lion king lyrics, “circle of life”, specifically for the introduction song. you know, the one everyone makes up words to. they surprisingly have actual words…weird.
-the dog known as the puggle turns out to be a total sweetheart, pug and beagle mix. i like beagles because theyre a more muscular small dog breed but i heard they bark a lot. and are...
