i love the simple elegance with which you capture your big city blues/self awareness/doubt here "A walk that felt like clarity when I’ve been so muddled. When toasting at the Chelsea Hotel with unkind Sarah Lawrence kids made me feel cheap. When getting dinner with estranged friends made me feel unknown. When taking a shot of whiskey at the cute-bartender-bar made me feel desperate. When postponing a date for the third time made me feel flighty. When having no weekend plans made me feel like a loser. When constantly busying myself made me ill." And "cute-bartender-bar..." has a great roll to it.
And hugging the tree when you are sure you wouldn't be seen, singing in the stairwell - the aside about your breakfast al fesco - so many crafty little reveals.
Have you read Katherine Mansfield's short stories? Not sure why she comes to mind - maybe your writing reminds me of hers.
Really love this!! Beautifully written.
