Personal reflections on moving from Canada to NYC
(danfrank.ca)
I’m moving from Canada to New York City this week, and I’m having a mini-existential crisis. There are the personal reasons I feel torn—what if I’m lonely, what if I don’t fit in, what if New York doesn’t magically fix the frustrations I had in Toronto, forcing me to confront the horrifying possibility that there’s no “better place”? But there’s also a bigger reason I’m feeling this way.

I’ve taken to ignoring all the autogenerated “memories” that my phone would like to show me from four years ago — because while the system simply matches the date, *I* know that four years ago was the depths of despair of the pandemic.

I wish I didn't miss the '90s-00s internet

I am 18, born in 2006. This is generally a good thing as I am in the prime of life currently. I am not one of those people who think they were “born in the wrong decade”, I think I was born at the perfect time to take advantage of superlinearly growing technological advancements.
