Live from New York (for now)

So I finally moved to New York City and suddenly having to potentially leave the city again has me thinking, what better time to revamp the blog? You can always count on me for chaos.

I've spent the last two months subletting in Harlem and working as a barista, and it's been...kind of...sad. I'm honestly pretty lonely, very poor, and feeling so behind. It's not really the city, it's me, but I can't help but feel like this particular situation just isn't it.

I had a bit of a roommate crisis and that has sparked an early end to this sublet, and I knew what I was getting myself into by taking a stand and choosing to leave the place, but oh boy is it hard to find affordable housing that isn't sketchy as shit here. I don't have a super wealthy guarantor, and I am still finding my way as an actor, so my options are virtually nonexistent. I really feel like I'm being pushed out. And it is making me question why I'm fighting so hard to be here, but it's a fleeting thought, and then I'm right back to knowing that I have to be here. I've known it my whole life, I cannot quit now.

Remember when I left you guys by announcing I was starting my YouTube channel, and then I chickened out? Well what better time to finally pick up the camera again and commit? Writing it into existence: I. WILL. TRY. YOUTUBE.

I have a bunch of clips from my production of A CHORUS LINE last September and life here-and-there in between, so if anyone would like to see a piecey path to New York video, let me know.

I will try to document the way I handle finding a new place, and we will just have to see where life takes me next (ideally lower Manhattan or Brooklyn, fingers crossed). But for now, I love anyone who reads this, and I'll talk to you soon.
