The first time I was on this street was 20 years ago. I was 18 and moving into my freshman dorm on 10th street at NYU. Walking by today it hit me *just how much time* has passed and how much I’ve changed. This is where I first discovered the city I would fall in love with and that would provide so many challenges over the years. My hair is grayer and I weigh about 25 pounds more than I did at that age, but I can safely say I feel braver and more comfortable in my own skin. I remember being so scared (and exhilarated) walking down this street and also being so worried about what everyone else thought about me. I’m still a little scared of walking across a rat 🐀 (my biggest NYC pet peeve) but I can safely say I worry a lot less about what other people will think of what I’m wearing or how much I weigh. Sometimes you have to leave the city to make peace with it all ♥️

nic_ducharme @designsponge I’m moving back to NYC after 17 years on the West Coast and it’s a magical return. Most importantly I am returning with the love of my life, but, more significantly, I return here with eyes peeled and full of gratitude. I do not want to miss a thing. We take nothing for granted. This is not New York. This is our New York. It’s the best!

walltawk I love this, Grace! How did I never make the NYU connection? I was in Brittany in ‘96! Age has its benefits and among them are: confidence in who you are AND knowing your limits (I love camping but I’ve got a 2 night limit, and there must be a flushable toilet ??). Embrace it all. I’m with you on the ?.

arieldraws I feel this so much! I moved to NYC 21 years ago and it’s so wild every time I’m back: so much older and a different human with different priorities. But it still gives me chills to walk down my old block in the east village or walk by my school on 13th St. Glad I had my time there and also glad I left.

awombey My daughter transferred to NYU as a junior. So glad she spent a little time maturing at junior college before attending NYU. She was way too impressionable just out of high school. She is totally in charge and loving it at her age. Not trepudacious and she's fully engaged in the city life.

tatianao i am leaving the city this year, at age 36, after 15 years here. i am terrified of learning to live somewhere else and all i’ll miss — but know that i’ll reap all that it has given me, once i’m on the other side. thank you for your reflection.

studiopetretti I think I was on 5 but can’t remember if there even were 5 floors... but do remember how awesome the old steel windows were, the pretty street, and the amazingly large closets. Living in NYC at 18 was lovely.
