The Comfy Corner

It was at that moment that I decided that moms in New York City are some of the strongest people I have ever met. Moms in general are the strongest people in the world. But suburban moms travel by car and don't have to carry everything they need for their entire day everywhere they go on a crowded train. NYC moms haul those strollers up and down the crowded subway stairs, they hold their heavy babies as they walk miles of New York City streets, they are prepared for any situation, they have incredible patience, incredible endurance, unbeatable organization, and they aren't putting their lives on hold because they have babies in the city. And I'm clearly not the only one who respects the moms of NYC because I have seen so many strangers go out of their way to help moms carry their strollers up the stairs, to help soothe crying children on the subway, and to help pick up dropped toys and clothes. The moms are kinda bringing people together in a beautiful way. So this is my ode to the moms of New York. And here are some other people I admire to the ends of the earth for their strength and patience:

1) FedEx, USPS, and UPS workers - in NYC, they climb all of those stairs to your apartment without complaint. That is impressive, y'all!

2) Garbage men - NYC garbage is no joke! I've seen garbage men loading up mountains of garbage a story high. 

3) Policemen - apart the danger that comes with the job. They deal with some of the craziest, rudest, most disgusting people in the world. They don't get paid enough.

4) MTA employees - every time I see some MTA employee mopping a mile long stretch of subway tiles at 4 in the morning, my heart swells. They do great work keeping the subways clean. A daunting task. Not to mention the shit they have to clean up on the trains (literal shit).

Stay comfy y'all.
