Why are you in New York if your just going to be doing regular shyt and live a regular life? Maybe you should move down south and leave the city for people who want to make a mark in the world.


I was at my friends art show the other day and he inspired me. He is doing it big in new york right and its only been a few months. Maybe I could be one of those people that gets to have an awesome life doing what he wants.
Because I was born and raised in this city:dahell:

Most of the people in NYC don't leave a mark on the world, you clearly have a naive view on NYC, you seem like the type of nikka to think city like LA is full of gliz and glamor and doesn't have any working class people :laff: Ol NYC is only Manhattan ass nikka.


I never seen a native NYer think like you do, btw :mjpls:

I'm from Toronto I kind of feel the same way you do. I used to hate all these people coming here from small towns and now thinking that they are the shyt and pricing me out of my own city. I was born and raised here. But then I got more into the arts and starting hanging out with these people and I realized that they are a lot cooler than the people i grew up with. And you gotta have respect for people who decided to take their live in their own hands and follow their dreams....as a opposed to just accepting their lot in life. As someone who grew up in Tdot, new york, la, or london was always lowkey the next step.

I hate calling this following my dreams, its not like im becoming an actor lol. Theres real tangible money to be made. Got a meeting with Universal this week :gladbron:

im saying though...shyt is different than the 90s. If you don't want to be a hustler and have a chance at the high life then there are way cheaper places to live with a better quality of life.
Do you have a job lined up? or you are just hoping for the best?

I'm 19 and I live in bedstuy and i'm working on my bachelors for civil engineering. I ain't trying to leave a mark on anything other than providing for my family. It just seem like your idea of NY kind of naive :manny:

Good luck. I wanted to move to NYC a few years ago and was actively seeking jobs...actually got a job interview via Twitter. It's a great city. I probably wouldn't move there now unless I'm moving in with someone who already lives there on a relationship-type level...but you never know! I have a few friends who are photographers/videographers so if you move, I can put you in touch...I've introduced a few of them to one another and they help each other out with last minute shoots, networking with models etc.

If a person like Desirous moves to NYC then it's really dead. She thought Pacha was a good nightlife spot :laff::laff::laff:

I'm a intern at Turner :umad:


I would stay there as long as you can. I had an engineering internship working for the government but I didnt do it the next year because I didnt want to give up a job that paid more. If I stayed I probably could have got a job with the govt or landed a job faster after graduation. Glad things went the way they did I ended up getting a better job with more responsibility down the line. I don't want to work in engineering any more though. I only majored in it because I was afraid of having to make money on my own.

You had the same mentality I did when I was a student.
