The moment I turned 26 I left NYC, after years of unforgiving heat during the summers, and horrible cold in the winter. Yeah, there was so much more than that; I was also running away from bad moments embedded in my mind.

There was at least one thing that remained constant: my addiction to social media. It was through several popular platforms that I met Christophe, a very handsome, tall redhead from New Zealand. He also left NYC, but he did it after a long romance online with me. Way to go, chappie! We moved in together into a modest flat in North Miami.
