New York, I Love You But You're Bringing me Down

So I have been very reticent about updating this.

I feel like I am saying goodbye to New York again.

My sister and brother-in-law moved out of Brooklyn and in next door in Dallas. We share a few walls, a drive-way, and a lawn that continually gets dog crap in it by our inconsiderate neighbors.

It is nice to have them near again, weird, but nice.

But worst of all, I don't have a tie to New York anymore. Yes, I still have friends up there but siblings! Ah, siblings! Such a good excuse to pay too much money to visit a place you ran screaming from.

But as the LCD Soundsystem song says, "You are still the one pool where I'd happily drown." It's so full with things I didn't get to touch when I lived there. I was too busy not falling to bits that I didn't get to live there, just stay there. A ship passing.
