During a conversation a few days ago, I was asked

Where do you want to be in five years?

Five years. Half a decade.

Oooh, erm, errr. Well… I want to be in New York. It seems like the natural next step on from Manchester.

It was the first time I’d told anyone but Jen about my dream to live in New York at some point. And I’d never before put a timeframe on it.

New York. Five years. Half a decade.

Too soon? Too late? Either way, it feels like a lifetime away. An impossible achievement, a ton of work to do. But I know I want to be there, eventually.

A big leap across the pond. New York. 2021.
