Working in the city is an experience that many people desire and hold in high regard. The city has a different meaning for me, it drains me and forces me keep up with its intense pace. I’ve seen buildings break ground and before you know it, it’s opening day. The city doesn’t allow anything to be stagnant for too long. This hectic pace sucked me in and took hold of me during my mid 20’s, now almost ten years later I see that I was somehow swept into the madness of the city. I lost myself in this tornado and now I am breaking free.

Change, very simple word is what I constantly hear in my head while I am working. The need to break away from my weekday city commute is constantly on my mind. Starting over in a new city and at a new company are fearfully exciting. The streets of the city aren’t easily described by nuanced words as cool or gritty, but for me tiring is how it’s best described.
