With A Big Apple Comes Big Worms.

     Sometimes you just need time for yourself.  Or so I have learned thanks to the big apple.  Though it is said  "an apple a day will keep the doctor away," but living in an apple, a BIG apple, doesn't mean you earn extra awesome points.  Because living in, on, and around a big apple, you are more likely to find the dark mushy spots.  The big apple folks, can be sour.
    Now this isn't me venting, though in reality what is a blog really for? I am merely making an observation.  Sour apple isn't a taste for everyone, personally I love sour.  Tangy sweet with that hit of bitterness that makes you go "Wah!" total A.D.D. in your mouth.  Hence my love for New York.  The city runs on crazy.  You have to be ready to go and be ready for obstacles, because lord knows you are gonna face them.  And, here in lies the problem.  Obstacles, whether they be the people that surround you, or the subway car full of children, obstacles are the worms you hate to find in your fruit.  And let me tell you, I effin' hate worms!  Both physically and metaphorically.  But, thanks to a New York epiphany I have found a way to step around the squishy beings completely.
    When faced with a worm, most of the time, in whatever form it may take, it rarely is there to specifically ruin your day, so leave it be!  If someone brushes up against you on the street, it isn't that they are trying to be rude, it is just that the sidewalks are busy and sometimes people just make contact, so don't take it personally.  I could go on with the analogies but really what I want to say is, don't take anything to heart.  Unless it is directly addressed at you, then the flood gates to your endless snarky attitude can be opened, but if not be a duck and let it slide right off your back.  Aka be water repellent, and eat those f**k'in worms.  If you let the littlest thing bother you, your time in New York is gonna be a rough one.  So take thing with a grain of salt, or however that phrase works, and life will be a lot less sour.
   Though, if the problem is coming constantly from an outside source, and one you can't really seem to escape...remove yourself, or spend as little time as possible around it.  That is something I have learned, and let me tell you this last month I have in NYC is looking a whole lot more exciting.  Though, I may be spending a lot more money than I have I think I deserve to be a little touristy.  So, until my next blog about my adventures I hope my so called epiphany will help you avoid the worms, because it just may happen that you too may be a squirmy critter yourself.  ;)
