this city is...alive.

 for too long i've waited to throw that winter coat into the farthest corner of my closet and see those sad tree branches outside my bedroom window turn lively and green.... and just like that, in almost a blink of an eye... this city came alive. everything is bright and light and airy. i'm not sure who exactly is in charge of the parks here in new york city, but they should get some sort of award, because in my twenty-three years of life, i've honestly never found myself as awe-struck or dazed by the beauty of spring. the flowers in central park and madison square look too good to be real, and the light posts seem as if they were placed just around every corner to confuse people like me if they are in new york city or a mystical narnia. i'm so happy to have been swallowed up by the beauty of this lively season, and i hope you've had the chance, too.
