helpless

“I can admit New York helped me grow up- helped me build a thicker skin for sure. It’s transformative in a way Lima could never dream of being, and I say that as a person who blossomed as much as I could’ve while in a small town’s confines. I can imagine it’ll be hard to tear yourself away, I know it’s been for me, but make sure to visit more than you’d probably like to. It’ll always be a way to keep your head just below the clouds instead of all the way inside them. Take that as a pro-tip.”

“i think growing up in a family of all boys did that for me, but i can totally see how the city could and will do the same. it’s both easy and hard trying to grow as a performer in lima. there’s so many opportunities to grow, but once you hit the cap, that’s it. there’s nothing beyond it. which is why new york is such an amazing place to use as the next step. oh - i don’t think i’ll have much problem tearing myself away. i love coming back home, i miss my family constantly, and though i know i’ll probably miss the fast pace of the city while i’m gone, being home will make up for it all.”

“Sometimes it can be. Sometimes it can be the bane of your existence.”

“i guess you’re not wrong there. just depends on how you look at it.”

“Ah yes. Family. One of the only reasons why I left New York to come back here.”

“it’s a good reason, honestly.”

“Who knew shitty Lima would be a place to be missed, but it’s bound to happen.”

“well not the - place, so much. but my family is there, so of course, i miss lima because they’re there.”

“Ahh assholes. My people. The rush of New York mixed with people not giving a fuck as they go about their business– it’s a great place.”

“it really, truly is one of a kind. wouldn’t trade living here for the world, though. i think this is my place - but i do really miss home.”

“There’s a reason your father used to take the train in from Jersey so often, well, at least that’s what he told me when we met. I was so genuinely surprised that he ended up in Lima, but I feel like you’re going to just thrive in the New York environment like he did.”

“oh i can imagine he did. i bet the city is so much better than jersey. lima is nice too, though. they’re just - so different. i am loving new york though, as much as - like i said - the people just don’t give a fuck, it’s still amazing. one hundred percent where i belong.”

“Sometimes it’s nice, people not giving a fuck. For a while anyway.”

“i mean - until it makes them a total asshole, then it’s not so nice.”

 thanks for the tip

“anytime, hun.”

“Am I going to have to bail you out of jail already?”

“- probably. it won’t be my fault, though!”

It probably is a little bit.

“you should probably check that,”

Its very easy to feed into those vibes. though i was kinda feeding myself into them before i even came here.

“that kinda sounds like a personal issue.” 

“I always wanted to learn dance and just… didn’t. What kind of dancing do you do?”

“it’s a pretty fun time, not gonna lie. - i don’t really have a particular style i stick to. ballet, contemporary and hip hop are my favorites, though.”
