In 1981, I was given the golden opportunity to explore New York City. The moment I set foot in the bustling streets, I knew a love affair had begun. Little did I know, those initial impressions would shape my life significantly. Several years later, I found myself unexpectedly living in Manhattan, immersed in its vibrant energy and cultural diversity. Those years were transformative, shaping my perspective and experiences in ways I could never have anticipated when I first stepped into the city that stole my heart.
