to make a long story short, i moved to NYC to find the Truths i've read about; the times of jack kerouac, mister burroughs, the open-minded exhilaration regarding Words and Thought, a new age of beauty and feeling Life.

i hopped off the greyhound two months ago, and i sobbed at what my illusion turned out to be. call me naive, call me a child, i've whipped myself with those words numerous times, haha.

a week or so after i moved here, i accidentally stumbled across a group of anarcho-punk squatters (leftover crack/c squat/ old skooler types), and travellers- there's a decent gathering here in the LES at any given time - and my mind was fucking blown at the purity, and ..wholeness. seeing individuals who actually act on their wanderlust, more so than hopping a bus every 3-4 months, and starting over: apartment, job, boxbox, move, apartment, job, boxboxbox - goddamn! they've become some of the closest friends i've ever had. through them, i've learned that my Truths (both political and non) are not gone, they just took a different form than what i expected.

i've jumped into this world, and i'm breathing for the first time.

i'm a newbie, i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing (i'm picking it up fast, though! haha), but i know without a doubt, i will do this for the rest of my life.

hi, y'all.
i'm alixi.
