I am thoroughly and utterly in love with New York— and the best part is I've never even been there. In this episode I talk about why I love New York so much, from the rush and freedom of a moving city to the glamor portrayed in movies and TV shows to the sparkling lights of Christmas in the city. I believe that our favorite places say a lot about who we are as people... and maybe loving New York this much says I'm a way-too optimistic teenager who thinks she can run away from her problems. And that would be correct. Instagram: @mirrorimagepod Intro + outro music: la la la / worldstar money remix by engelwood Mirror Image is the personal diary podcast of a Gen-Z teenager.
