because love you as much as i do — and i do love you, new york (both in city and magazine form) — i just need some help remembering why i live anywhere winter and darkness exists on this cold blustery day in early january, especially coming fresh off a ridiculous month in balmy thailand and laos capped by my sister’s wonderful New Year’s wedding.*

(*pictures to come! also, this in-the-dumps attitude is expected of me in the first week of january, so no need to be alarmed, pals. but can you blame me? did you know there are only NINE hours and TWENTY minutes of daylight today?)
