New York City. Many people move to this amazing city to chase a dream or to create a new one. Me? I moved here for a challenge, an adventure of sorts. My adventure was to further my pharmacy training and complete a pharmacy residency program, and why not go big and move away from Florida, the place I call home and everything I've known, for this one year program (or so I thought). Fortunately, my younger sister already relocated here for grad school and my boyfriend was shortly following for his medical school rotations. I always felt I cheated in a way, moving here with such a solid support system. Props to the people that move to the concrete jungle and make it with only their own strength and will to keep them going through the city's every day grind.

One year turned into two years. I realized where my heart was.. and that was in ambulatory care. So I completed another year of residency. Two years turned into three years. And here I am now. Living in Brooklyn, working with people and caring for patients that I love. Never would I have imagined this, I really am so blessed. It's moments like this, chasing sunsets with Matt in search of that perfect (Instagram) photo spot, that I wonder how we ever got here. 

No matter the struggle, know that what is meant to be, is meant to be. Everything happens for a reason. Truly. And you're going to make it. 

C'est la vie.
