After my move to New York, I recall a conversation with my mother over the phone where she asked if I regretted moving, and I responded “no, not at all, didn’t even cross my mind.” New York was the center of the universe, and it was proving itself to be everything it was advertised to be and more. I met people from all over the world, I got to know my brother. What New York showed me more than anything is how big this world is, and how connected we all are. It was important for me to find my place, and after I met Kimi, and after I converted to Judaism, I wanted to live in the place best suited for my lifestyle and to a place which happened to be on the frontlines of world history: Israel. The same goes for Israel: I am never leaving Israel… never.
