I'm a 28-year-old Chicago native who moved to Washington, DC in 2001 to attend college. After graduating in 2005, I spent another 4 years in DC, most of that time was spent dating a serial cheater and asshole.
After moving out of the townhouse we shared on Capitol Hill, I packed my UHaul and came up to New York City. I'm currently adjusting to single life and living in an "actual" city.
Even though there are only 227 miles between DC and NYC, my old life feels like it's another space/time continuum away.
