    Getting my Life Together - Leaving New York City | A Cinematic NYC Story
    I left New York.. for a weekend trip to support a friend. Traveling is something I rarely do but have been doing more often. My schedule has honestly been wild. But as a sola film maker, I take the solo part to heart. I rarely see friends - but this weekend I kicked it with one of my boys from college.
    A switch up from my normal bout with solitude since I live alone in New York City. But that's half of this story. When I returned to New York City, I found myself so heavily distracted. So I did what any sensible millennial would struggle with; deleted social media from my phone.
    Adulting is all about figuring this whole thing out...
