It’s no secret that Thought Catalog, the blog game Thought Catalog, is one of my daily must reads, which is why I was so excited to dig into this new post today called , for which the above picture (via Thought Catalog) of a Thought Cataloger taking a photo of another Thought Cataloger pulling his bike over and taking a photo of the city from a distance for his own personal thought catalog serves as the the most accurately chosen image header I’ve ever seen. Up until now I thought the only reason people moved to New York City was to generate thoughts to catalog, but apparently there is a lot more to it, 15 whole things worth in fact. Let’s take a look at a few of them, shall we?
1. We’re masochists. We doll ourselves up every night for a city that’s just going to end up giving us a black eye anyway. It’s our glamorous version of a bad boyfriend.
He’s not kidding. According to the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence “Police responded to 257,813 domestic violence incidents in 2011; this averages to over 700 incidents per day.” That’s a potential for 1,400 black eyes. We were asking for it though, so fair game, city.
2. We weren’t content living our life somewhere else. We saw what it would’ve been like if we stayed put and we got scared, real scared. (If you grew up in NYC, you probably still live here because the city has made you unfit for anywhere else. It’s as if New York peed all over you when you were born and marked its territory. The little bitch!)
Pretty sure they have Word Press and musings in all of the other cities, but I haven’t got the numbers handy, so maybe I’m off there.
Read the rest.
