Scared of New York?

I am having a touch of anxiety about heading out to the city today from my cozy apartment. Yesterday was a bit like that, too. I wonder what that's all about. Maybe I am more aware of the enormity of this place. Everything is farther away than it seems. It takes energy and mental focus to get to a destination you've not been to before. For example, you wouldn't want to catch a taxi headed south if you want to go north. Or you have to remember which train number to switch to and where you got off so you can return to it. And you will constantly be bumping into people on the sidewalk, the subway, the parks, etc.

I apologize to all those reading this entry and experiencing anxiety over more serious problems than mine today. I'm going to get over myself and get out there.
