" I had never imagined living anywhere but New York City until, one day, I did imagine it, and almost immediately I left the only home I’d known. It was time to leave the noise and the bodies behind. Time for the kind of quiet that only happens deep in the woods, lost, craning my neck up to the sky to find my way. "
