I heart NY

After days of feeling beaten down by the helplessness of seeing amazing kids left to rot (one day, ask me about David, who works 2 jobs to support himself because his family's out of the picture, who spent much of last year in jail, and who still manages to be one of the sweetest and hardest working kids I've ever met), by the sheer assholishness that some people revel in, and by the cold indifference of parents and communities who would rather implode than think that maybe some of this is their fault, I come back to one thing. I fucking love this city.
