i was looking at the new york city skyline one day and realized that i’ve seen it so many times from different places but i still don’t have a specific favorite place to see it from. we see the skylines of our favorite cities while driving, while standing on the 60th floor of a building, or while walking across a bridge. when do we decide which view is our favorite? i honestly can’t decide because it’s always about how i feel in that moment and who i’m surrounded with. i don’t think there will ever be a moment when i’m not awe of the beauty that i’m beholding. this view specifically brings me back to being a child when i would marvel at how beautiful and unexplored the world really is. i’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes ever that still gives me chills whenever i read it:

“you can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

the skyline will always be there, regardless of where you see it from, but you must have the strength to let go.
