Per usual, I absolutely love this piece and am beyond THRILLED to pay to read it. I have weirdly never been an avid music listener while moving about in New York and enjoy the open eared life. Welcome to the club! As the self declared leader of the "New York City Loyalists Club," I excuse your much needed, no explanation needed departure from the city of our dreams. The great thing about New York is that it's not going anywhere anytime soon but you, you are going everywhere, fast. I am raising a Pellegrino to you in honor of your air pod break up, summer of transformation and EuroTour. Cheers to you!
Girl, SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT after reading this wonderful issue! I've been increasingly disconnecting to connect, too. Brava.
I have to tell you the crazy story of how I found my apartment. I do think it's possible to have an affordable sanctuary with light and space if you're a bit up town...though who knows, maybe my rent will finally go up this year. My life in NYC honestly has been as fast or as slow as I want it since I moved here 4 years ago, I'm curious to hear more about you outgrowing it. Lastly I was a solo farmhand in Tuscany a little while back and traveled around Umbria and elsewhere in Europe and Asia—also on a one-way-ticket! Can't wait for your adventures.
Hmmm.... I have a somewhat resigned relationship with my own AirPods. Given that I share a workspace, and given that I have a life comprised of endless zoom meetings, I have to wear them. But they make me queasy and a little claustrophobic. It used to be that the first thing I did after a day at the office was tear off the pantyhose and toss them across the room. These days, it's more likely to be my AirPods.
I love the pictures you've captured, though, and if this is a side effect of setting aside the AirPods for a little while, we, your paid subscribers are the beneficiaries. They are mind-boggling and totally FABULOUS!
Thanks, too, for sharing your notebooks. It was interesting to see how you "storyboard" your illustrations.
Looking forward to seeing what happens when you arrive in Italy...
I love the behind the scenes sketches! And the beautiful part about leaving NY is it’s not going anywhere — it’ll be the same delightful, maddening city if you decide to come back!
I'm not going to lie, I'm in a very serious, committed relationship with my AirPods. I admire your stance, though. I'm excited to see and learn about Italy through your lens. I've never been, but one day I definitely would like to go.
As far as the imposter syndrome goes, I'm right there with you. Fortunately, most days it's kind of an old acquaintance that stops by to say hello and then leaves me alone.

I was literally trying the Airpod-free experiment this week and I enjoyed my walks sooooooooooo much more. And i love the sketches.
