This essay, Boston Bound, is the transcript of my recently released podcast episode Boston Bound on my new podcast, My Time, My Life, where I talk about defining my own success in the face of failure.
In my last essay, I wrote about the struggles and challenges I faced as a young model in New York. In today’s essay, I’ll discuss my leaving New York for Boston, to take a break.
When I decided to leave New York for Boston to be with my boyfriend for a few months, I’d never seen my mom so happy for me to be doing something because of a man. I shouldn’t say I went to Boston to be with him exactly, but it was an easy decision because it was a more manageable city that wasn’t known to destroy people’s dreams. So it was a blessing that he lived there, since it was an easy escape from New York.
