Flickering Skyline

"I miss being drunk in a cab and watching the flickering skyline zip past my window while I realize, I'm in fucking New York City."

Reward

"New Yorkers are willing to sacrifice and they just accept the hardships of being there by purely just being there because there is just this expectation that it will pay back. And that the harder it is, the bigger the payback will be. It’s kind of like the same sentiment behind some religions: The worse you have it, the bigger the reward will be."
