Moving from Europe to New York feels like stepping into a dream you’ve only seen in movies—until it becomes your reality.” At first, everything moves too fast. The city doesn’t wait for you to adjust, and no one stops to explain the unwritten rules. You learn by doing. By missing the express train. By figuring out which coffee spot feels like home. By understanding that solitude here isn’t loneliness—it’s power. In Europe, time stretches. Meals last longer. Beauty is preserved in history. In New York, beauty is in motion. It’s in reinvention, in late-night ambition, in the way no one asks where you’re from but instead, what you’re building. You trade quiet certainty for the thrill of the unknown. You swap small familiar streets for avenues that never end. Some days, you miss the old rhythm. Other days, you walk through the city at sunset, and for a fleeting moment, you realize—this place has already changed you.
