Well Diamonds my prediction came true.
I had experienced a Manhattan Love Story, but not the one I thought i was going to.
I thought I would fall in love with Manhattan, and I did, but that's not the story that truly sticks out to me in my mind when I think of the amazing trip I took to New York.
The love I discovered in New York wasn't the love I had for New York, but the love New York has for me, and for everyone who lives there.
New York has this acceptance with everyone and anyone who lives there. Everyone has a place to fit in, the business men, the single women, the punk teenagers, the crazy people on the subway, all of them have a place in New York.
My favorite part?
Couples will always hold hands in New York. Even the gay couples. if two men held hands in my neighborhood, I can almost promise you they would get looks. They don't in New York.
Something about that gives me hope.
In the majority of our country Same-Sex couples cannot get marriage licenses. Am I the only one who finds that wrong?
I think anyone should be able to be married, as long as they are in love.
I could go on a rant about how I feel that all love is good, but I'll save that for later this week when the court makes a decision on some of the acts they are being faced with.
Back to New York,
If even the crazies, playing their Native American Flutes on the subway, can find a place in the city, then why can't I?
Why can't a sixteen year old girl with a blog, an expressive wardrobe, and a wild heart find a place in the city?
Well she can.
She might have not exactly found it yet, but she's going to.
And isn't that what most things in life are? Saying to yourself "I'm going there!" Then figuring out all the steps you have to take to get there.
Well Diamonds you can get there, you can get into any college you want, you can start a life in Manhattan, and you can get the supreme court to legalize same-sex marriage just figure out how, and you'll be there before you know it.
