    You’ve reminded me of a room hunting in NYC😭 I’ve finished on Church Avenue in Brooklyn in a really bad room big as a little closet for 600 a month 🤯 with mice keeping me a company. But at least I had a roof over my head for two months where I’ve been feeling safe.

        It was in 2004🤣. I was there on J1 visa – work and travel, although I didn’t travel but deplaced myself 😉. I love NYC but I prefer South America to Northern one – people are different, much closer to my nature. We had kind of dry summer in here although it was mainly cloudy with mild temperatures. I don’t like heat so it was a good summer for me. Did you find your place? How are you adjusting to NY?

          have you moved to south america? i wanna visit so bad there’s so much culture and history. i want to go to brazil, colombia, guyana, and trinidad the most because that’s where a lot of my ppl are (lmao black ppl/africans) and i WISH I WISH I WISH i spoke portuguese. also i know a bit about SA politics bc i watch this youtuber badempanada and he does (leftist) videos and stuff and lives in argentina. he has a real love for that region which i think is interesting.

          i haven’t found it yet! my best friend and i are going to move and she’s worried about money. in the US my unemployment was taken away (pandemic unemployment) because those who weren’t viable for it before got it for the pandemic and then, even though the pandemic is sitll here, they were like “sike since ur freelancers we’re taking it back now” so i have some money saved but i’m looking for jobs in my area and she wants to be a bit more steady. i’m more optimistic that we can find a place although so much has change, u no?

          also re:summer i wish it wasnt an indication of global warming. i CANNOT STAND the heat lmaooooo how hot did it get? here our highest was like 103 but we have so many heat waves then rain.

          ok that was long and u probs dont care that much but sry my brain goes so fast

            It wasn’t that long! I’m glad that everything is almost fine with you. I’m living in Brittany, France now. I did travel through Patagonia for 3 months 11 years ago – time flies so fast. 😂 Yeah, summer in NY especially in NJ is terrible. When I first came to Newark airport I thought I couldn’t breathe because of the heat and no breeze. I wasn’t far from a panic attack, it took my brain a while to reprogram itself to that weather. I hope all will go well for you although the beginnings are so tough. 🤞
