Another month of relentless ice and snow in NYC. If I thought January was brutal, February was something else. I am not used to these winters. Although record-breaking, my past four winters have been spent down south in Richmond, Virginia—a place where spring comes faster and summer lingers for months on end. Reflecting back on the month now, a lot has changed. I tried a few restaurants and bars, saw a concert, went to Florida!!, celebrated my birthday, celebrated my roommate’s birthday, did some shopping, and saw some art, and read a book. On top of all of this, I’ve been trying to apply to jobs that can soak up the abundance of free time that I have in grad school. (Manifesting some luck in March🤞) Anyways, February had high highs and low lows but ultimately it was a month of reflection and renewal. A month that I will hold deep in my heart as a catalyst for change. Change came and went—the Fire Horse emerged on the 17th, bringing clarity and, hopefully, some of the luck I am wishing for in the months ahead.
