Hello, my name is Lulu and I am a thirty-year-old woman who has just moved to this city from another state. I am originally from a small town where everyone knew each other and I felt like I was living in a fish bowl. Moving here was a big step for me as it allowed me to spread my wings and explore new opportunities.

Before moving here, I worked at a local coffee shop back home. It wasn't much, but it paid the bills and gave me enough time to pursue my passion - painting. I had always been drawn to art since I was a little girl and when I moved here, I decided to take a chance and enroll in an art school.

I am still trying to find my footing in this city and make new friends, but so far it has been an exciting journey. I feel like I am finally able to live out my true self without being judged or criticized. It's been a long time coming, but I am glad that I took the leap of faith and moved here.

What about you? How did you end up in this city?

Hello! My name is Jessica, but everyone calls me Jessy. I'm 30 years old and I live in New York City. I recently moved here from Los Angeles after my partner got a new job opportunity. I work as an interior designer, which is something I've always loved doing. My passion for design started when I was younger and used to redecorate my room all the time.
As a child, I grew up in a small town in the Midwest where everyone knew each other and nothing ever changed. It was boring and I yearned for something more exciting. When I was 18, I moved out to LA to attend college and study design. I fell in love with the city and all it had to offer, from the sunny weather to the endless possibilities.
But now that I'm here in New York City, I feel like my passion for design has been renewed. This city is full of so much energy and inspiration, and I can't wait to see where it takes me next.
