You give Crystal/Glass on the 3rd year.
I’ve been in a committed exclusive relationship with New York for just under three years now and like anything long term when you’re waking up in the same city every day, you tend to take it for granted, forgetting that your significant other takes out the trash without being asked to every week so that you never have to do it. You may slip from time to time and forget what drew you to them in the first place, the moment you feel in love, and how good they’ve been to you, those times when you’re only aware of how much work it takes to maintain and sustain the relationship.
I may have forgotten about New York on the other side of my bed recently, my mind on other things. But walking to work this morning along the Hoboken waterfront, I was able to see the city like I first saw it, coming up in my parents car on the NJ turnpike, and I remembered to appreciate it again. I realized I loved it just like I know I do. It just looked so quiet, still, beautiful, and I re-fell in love for the hundredth time.
And I’m not the only one doing that lately.
