Ngezindlela eziningi, ukuphela kuka-2006 kwaba ngesinye sezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu empilweni yami. Bengihlala nabantu engingabazi eNew York City, kude nekolishi ukuthola umsebenzi wami wokuqala omkhulu, lapho isoka lami leminyaka emine - engangihlangane nalo eqenjini lesonto, engangithandana naye kusukela ngineminyaka engu-16. - ungishayele ukungitshela, ngokuxhamazela nangezwi leqiniso, ukuthi yena nentombazane ahlangane nayo endaweni ebalekela amaKhatholika "baqedile ukuzwana" nokuthi ucabanga ukuthi kufanele "sibone abanye abantu. " Ngisakhumbula ukusabela kwami ​​kwe-visceral kulawa magama, njengoba ngihleli isitokwe-ngisesegumbini lami lokulala Elise-Upper East Side: isicanucanu sigcwalisa umzimba wami kusukela phansi kuya phezulu. Amabhulashi aneqhwa ekhaleni lami, ezihlathini, esilevini. Lokho kuqiniseka okungazelelwe kokuthi izinto bezihlukile, futhi kubi, phakade.

Futhi lobu buhlungu babulokhu buza njalo, izinyanga ezalandela: Ngangizolunga, ngihambisane nomsebenzi wami kamagazini, bese ngicabanga ngaye - cha, ngawo: ukukhashelwa, isibhakela esinzima esiswini. Ngangingakholwa ukuthi umuntu engangimethemba ngokugcwele angangilimaza kangaka. Kuzwakala njenge-histrionic manje, kepha ngangizizwa nginesizungu, ngikude nabangane bami abaseduze, ngikhathele ukuziphatha ngokujwayelekile, futhi, njengelungelo, ngineminyaka engu-20 ubudala, ngingalungele ukucasuka okukhulu ohlelweni lwami lokuphila.

Ngoba sasizoshada. Konke sikutholile: Wayezoya esikoleni se-med, ngemuva kokuthola i-MCAT engangichithe amahora amaningi ngimsiza ukuthi ayifundele. Uzongena ezinhlelweni zakhe zamaphupho, ngenxa yalo lonke usizo lwami lokuhlela lezo zindatshana zohlelo lokusebenza. Sasizothuthela eChicago, idolobha elikhulu eliqhele ngemizuzu engu-90 ukusuka kubazali bethu - ngemuva kwamahora amaningi nokuhlwa nokuchitha ndawonye, ​​umndeni wakhe, phela, wawuzizwa njengomndeni wami, nami. Ngizothola umsebenzi encwadini yendawo. Sizoba nomshado omkhulu wamaKhatholika (bengingumLuthela, kodwa ngikulungele ngokuphelele ukuguqula) kanye nenani elincane, elilawulayo lezingane. Besilokhu sikhuluma ngakho kusukela sathandana esikoleni esiphakeme. Besibekiwe.

Labe selihlakazeka lonke ikusasa labhidlika. Uthole akufunayo, ngokwazi kwami: I-Google-stalking iveza ukuthi ungudokotela eMidwest, ushade nentombazane enhle yamaKhatholika ayengitshele yona ngalobo busuku, kungenzeka ukuthi ama-rugrats azulazula ezinyaweni zakhe. Angazi mathupha, ngoba sekuphele iminyaka eyi-10 singakhulumi. Kepha ngicabanga ukuthi ngiyajabula ukuthi ikusasa lakhe liqhubekile, lalinganqandeki.

Ngikhumbula ngobunye ubusuku ngasekupheleni kuka-2006, ngokugqama kancane kodwa konke okubalulekile kimina. Kwakuwubusuku obufudumele obungajwayelekile bukaNovemba, futhi ngemva kokuqeda usuku lokufunda e-Times Square, ngahamba ngaya eBryant Park. Ngangihlala etafuleni elincane eliluhlaza okotshani futhi ngibheke umhlaba ufiphala phakathi kwemifantu ezihlahleni eziwugqinsi, lapho izakhiwo ziphendulela igolide ekukhanyeni okwedlulele neNew Yorkers zigeleza, zigcwele ikhono nenjongo. Ngabe sengikuzwa, ngokusobala sengathi othile wayekuhlebele endlebeni yami: "Manje usungenza noma yini oyifunayo."
