Manhattan Me

Here’s my story. I’m 23 years and 7 days old. I’m from Connecticut originally but I’ve lived in New York on and off the past few years, and moved here permanently at the end of August 2009. I live alone in Manhattan and I came here for the same reason everyone else comes here--a dollar and a dream. My dream, like everyone else’s, sounds unattainable to all outsiders but I know in my heart it will happen and it will happen in this city. I can easily admit that every little thing I do is for that dream. My love for Manhattan is intermingled with my drive to succeed here. In my eyes, Manhattan is the gateway to my eternal happiness, because it is the place where goals are met and successes are made. So this is my story, a little at a time, as I build the foundation for what I hope will become just another New York fairy tale.
