New York City moved fast, but I found the softness in its corners. Early mornings when the streets were still stretching awake, steam rising from manholes, someone humming behind a coffee cart. I remember sitting on a bench in Central Park, the city pulsing just beyond the trees, and thinking, “Even here, there’s space to breathe if you know where to look.”
What stayed with me weren’t the big things—but the quiet ones: the flicker of candlelight in a tucked-away jazz bar, the warmth of a deli sandwich eaten on a stoop, the hush of an old bookshop as snow fell outside. I wandered through galleries and gardens, neighborhoods with names that sounded like poems, and I left feeling surprisingly steady—like the city had made room for me.
