Interlude - Winter 2011

In the winter of 2011 I had attempted to move to New York to magically get my shit together. I had been living in North Hollywood for the past few months, subletting a room from my childhood best friend and was always late on rent. My deeply intense, off and on college boyfriend had just dumped me - after emotionally holding me hostage for four years. He took his dog and moved to New York two days later.  And one day, while I was definitely jobless and watching Bravo, I seemed to have an a-ha moment. Maybe I should move to New York.  Not thinking the two things were related. Definitely not.
