Can I be honest? Okay I’ll be honest. I read the first para and really thought, New York and LA must be her content shtick, the way she throws those around like it’s an achievement, there’s something disingenuous about it but I guess you do what you have to here. I immediately checked myself thinking, Am I just jealous and do I secretly want to be her?

But I kept reading, and I’m glad I did cos you went on to call yourself out. This was a rollercoaster and a great read! Everywhere around me are incentives to hide our real feelings, even harbor some bad ones in anonymity and I keep wondering why? Like in Snapchat messages disappear, you can archive chats on WhatsApp and whatnot. Yes there are good ways to use them all but I think the times when they were simpler, our lives were simpler too.

Loved this. I had to laugh about your comments on ny relationships being transactional because Los Angeles is the most transactional friendship city in the world

People are transactional both places. I find it’s more in your face in NY
