# 15 - The Chicago Times

I just got back from my trip in Chicago, so of course I laid out some of the differences between Chicago and New York. Mentioned how my trip helped me cope with my dog passing away right before i left, The fact that we have become shallow as a generation. The strangeness of being happy and sad at the same time, being an adult, the loss of privacy in my life, the hope of helping someone, the inspiration of another person, and how being vulnerable with someone i met recently has been frightening but ultimately beneficial for my creativity.
