New York City

New York City really hardens you up. It’s a beautiful place, yes. But oh so brutal too.

Bumping into people, trading curses, doors slamming in your face. And let’s not forget the cold—the sharp relentless cold that cuts right through you, completely indifferent to how tough you think you are.

It’s not a place for the faint of heart or mind. It’s for those who can endure being destroyed and resurrected, again and again and again. Every moment here feels like a test, forcing you to face yourself and decide whether to push forward or let the city swallow you whole.

In the words of Frank Sinatra, “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.” To make it in New York City is to embody its spirit—resilient, relentless, and unapologetically moving forward.
