I’ve been in the city 10 years, travel on and off, sometimes gone for weeks - most of the time I’m arriving home when roomie is leaving and vice versa - I wonder what the doorman thinks we do... and sometime I wonder what I’m doing living here. To be honest, I love the energy, but find myself being a homebody recently, with that said if any of you lonely newbies wanna grab a drink or party or show LMK, would be fun to meet new people - I meet new clients all day long :/.

Thanks fam, would definitelty be down to chill with you all. Just wish I had the courage to actually admit my loneliness to people not via an annonymous app!

Actually - most of my good close friends are randos I’ve met out... I was at a bar one night and ended up at a party in someone’s apartment... has happened many times... the city is what you make of it, just shed the worries, remain alert, and walk with a smile. :)

Seems like we have a brewing meetup

Let’s do it haha
