Everyone on the Internet is sad. Why else would they be on the Internet?

I'm trying to do what Frank O'Hara did and remind myself there there's a lot of good stuff. I write about New York for my own mental health.

I feel like the cosmos implies mystery, or infinite secrets.

When I was younger, my view of New York was really wide-eyed and excited. I've lived here all my life.

My relationship to New York has changed a lot. I feel lucky to live here. A lot of times you walk through the city and don't notice that you're in a really beautiful neighborhood, or that you're passing a beautiful building. It's nice, as an exercise, to keep aware that you're in a really lucky place.

Writing songs about it is a really useful way for me to love New York more, and stay observing it, and not just zone it out.
