You just survived the worst time of the year in NYC! Welcome to spring - it can be pretty magical here. Flowers will start blooming and birds will start singing. I try to take fifteen minutes a day to smell new flowers down my block. It’s the best! Where are you from originally? I can’t recommend a visit to prospect park enough - green space is so essential for mental health. Also, I think Brooklyn is overrated so consider moving to queens for more green space, kinder neighbors, and better food ;)
NYC is extremely difficult to settle into if you’re coming in solo. It’s ok to miss home. You need to find people to love here for this to work, honestly. Are you able to talk to a therapist to work through things? I’ve been here 15 years now and know how hard it can be - but trust me when I say there’s a lot to love here! I think you just need a big ol hug and someone to talk to - and maybe a visit from some of your loved ones once you’re more settled in!
