i know its mothers day today so i just want to remind anyone who doesnt have the best relationship with their mother that you don’t owe your parents anything. don’t feel pressured to be someone you’re not today to someone who doesn’t deserve it simply because you feel obligated to.

LA is warmer, the Midwest is beautiful, the south is cheaper and my heart is in Charleston, and pretty much anywhere in the world is gentler, but NYC is magic. It’s either too cold or too hot and it always smells bad and it’s crowded yet somehow also lonely, but it’s magic. You don’t always feel it, but it’s always there to be felt by someone. Maybe when you’re alone at 3am or with all the people you’ve ever cared about or with just the one person you love. In August, at Christmas time, in a park, on a sidewalk, at an empty bar. It’s unexplainable but it’s there to be felt and it’s magic.
