Bye Bye Brooklyn

I miss Brooklyn already.

I miss the baby bird that came to sit on my shoulder one morning when me and my love were drinking coffee in front of the house.

I miss the kindness. I miss saying and being said goodmorning too by people on the street.

I miss the sun. (even the heatwave!, it's cold and raining in A'dam!)

I miss the creativity.

I miss finding bargain treasures at an unexpected stoopsale.

I miss the guys from the band.

I miss walking through Fort Greene. (note: most pictures on the left were made during a walk through Park Slope though)

I miss the laughter.

I miss so much, but i especially miss
LOVE.


I don't know. Is it because I've been away a couple of weeks, is it that I'm going to move overseas in a while that I'm focusing on negativity in Amsterdam, to make parting easier? I don't know, the vibe here isn't what Amsterdam used to be about. People have a very short fuse here nowadays. Are getting more aggressive every day. Expect to deserve everything, just because. And if not, aggression. Wow. Be humble for a change. Be kind. A lot of things have happened lately to change to overall feel of the community. Let me ponder about this some more. I might post my thoughts about it another time.

For now, I just miss Brooklyn baby!

Wow! These pictures are from my neighborhood. That is so crazy. I hope you had a wonderful time here. I've lived here almost a year and it never gets old.
