“Somewhere in this period I moved, for the first time, into an apartment by myself. A junior one bedroom between Fourth and Fifth Avenues in Park Slope. To be able to live alone, in such a quiet, light-filled, tree-shaded trio of rooms, for $850 a month - I felt incredibly lucky. I woke up to birds. So many birds, in the spring, it was as if the tree outside my front windows held one hundred nine-year-old girls on a Skittles high.” Girl LoveMorning BirdsBird SongsHappy Loud Little GirlsJoy In The MorningLife In NyNine Year Old Girls Book:Not That Kind of Girl: A Memoir Source: Not That Kind of Girl: A Memoir
