i have wanted to live in nyc ever since i was a kid. as a midwestern little girl, i always felt limited to what i could do & the places i could visit. but now as i’m getting closer & closer to going to college, my parents are strongly against me applying to any nyc schools, as we can’t afford the tuition, room & board, or travel. i’ve just always wanted to go because i just feel like i belong there. it actually makes me emotional just thinking about living there & being there, because i think i was born in the wrong place & i should have been living there all my life. it just s**** that i’ll never live out my lifelong fantasy & i’ll always feel a void in my heart.
