I personally believe that living doesn't constitute having every handed to you on a platter, nor does it even constitute having access to an abundance of material things or resources. I believe that living is about taking in the environment of the moments that we experience each day. There's art and beauty in straying off of the normal beaten path.
With the advent and popularity of Google maps where you can walk down in any street in any major city and everybody having a blog focusing on every subject (this one included), there appears to be the idea that everything is right at your fingertips. This may be true but the experience takes a bit more work.
A break from the normal routine
Hurry up and wait.
After a long day at work, I decided to take the long way home and with that take in some views of the city that I never get to see. Also, a bit of street art is always appreciated. One beautiful thing about New York is that art is almost always a block away, or in this case, every step of the way. This trek took Lizton and I across the Williamsburg Bridge. This bridge connects the popular Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan to Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood which is probably one of the most talked about neighborhoods in the city as of late. These two hoods are known for the concentrations of creative young people, artists, and hipsters alike. The bridge displays the character of the people which it connects.
The city is always watching
Thank you city of New York providing daily inspiration. Live!
