Fabulous, Strange, Disturbing

Too Many Possibilities

Yoga in Bryant Park

"One thing that's both good and bad about living in New York City is the sense that I could be doing so much -- going to the ballet, going to an off-off-Broadway, taking a graphic design class, shopping in Williamsburg, eating in Astoria. But I almost never do those things, so the possibilities are exciting, but also a reproach."
Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
