I’m sitting in the student study lounge on the 9th floor of Kimmel. There are these big windows along one of the walls that face uptown (i.e. the empire state building direction). It’s midday and it’s really cool to look out the window at the view. I can see all of the people toughing out the cold weather in Washington Square Park, the taxi’s for miles up 5th Ave, the row of town houses that Jude law lives in and such. The skyline is amazing.
I get this tranquil feeling as I sit up here. I’m supposed to be doing work right now, I have to write an essay for Monday, but I would much rather relax and look out the window. There are people all around me and you can hear everyone steadily tapping away at their laptop keyboards, including me. Or you woud hear it if you didn’t have headphones in. It’s one of the most claming places on NYU’s campus. It helps me remember the significant things in life…
I was walking to campus from my dorm yesterday and this random homeless guy on the street told me something. It was probably the most profound this that I could have heard today. He said that the world could be cold but to keep on smiling. And then he walked away. It was so bizarre, but very cool. It reminded me of a line from one of my favorite songs by a very unknown artist named Anhuea. “And you trust in all of your memories, cause you learn from your mistakes. And your life will hold all the answers to where you will lay. And the world can be so cold and null, so keep warm inside that smile. Just commit yourself to your happiness. When it rains you will cry, and on and on endlessly you try.” And it reminded me of earlier this week. I saw a girl crying in the rain. Odd right?
