THE EVERYDAY LIFE

The everyday life is nice in this neighbourhood. I wake up evey morning, and I walk to work, which takes me only 20 minutes. Now I got a lovely old bike, so I will ride there, it's gonna be so nice. On my way, I buy some fruit for during the day, and I get the New York Times. When I finish work, I go to visit stuff, or now that I met more people, we go to the park, to drink beer, or go for dinner. It is truly very nice. The life in Brooklyn is so different than in Manhattan. It is like a little village for young people. It is perfect. It is chilled out and nice, but if I need movement, I can take the subway, and be in Manhattan in 15 minutes.

Perhaps, the only thing that makes it a bit difficult is the fear. If you can put yourself in the skin of a 25 years old woman on her own, in a monstruous city such as New York,I think you'll understand me. Everything more intense than normally. I live my everyday much more aware and carefully that in other moments of my life. I am just so sensitive to anything. Any weird sound, individual, or movement makes me feel afraid. My place is nice, and my flatmates are lovely. But the endless corredor is a bit spooky, and it freaks me out everytime I get home. Especially now, that I am spending some days alone in the flat. It is a continuous tension, but I think that was part of the adventure, wasn't it?
