So here’s the story of how I almost met the love of my life in NYC. It was the start of autumn and I was the starry-eyed girl from South Africa who entered the Big Apple with big dreams and a thrumming heart. Anything can happen here! I believed with all my heart. It had been a rough year. Sick family. Pressures. Stress I’d never been under before. This trip was my gift to myself. I was going to shine, draw all the good energy and have all the adventures. Maybe, I would even meet someone! I signed up for a few dating apps when I landed.
