New York City

I am not from New York City:

I am not afraid to take two steps at a time.

I am not careful to make work look like not working.

I say "Thank you," and I mean it.

I enjoy people, and I respect them all until they give me a reason not to.

I feel empathy for little creatures, and love for things that grow.

I have seen time pass, and I understand it.

I know to not try to fill the silence; there is already enough there.
