The Pandemic and Brighton Beach • Photo Gallery

This pandemic is making people think about life differently. So my job, I'm a union organizer and I really love my work. I'm very passionate about it. I can see myself

continuing to do that for many years, but also, there's an appeal to living kind of a simpler life where you let other people do the fighting and you just say, you know, like, I've done this and now it's time for the next generation and the temptation to, you know, kind of go somewhere and leave New York. But, yeah, I love this place. I love being here now and exploring now. And I don't know what the future holds, but I'm optimistic.
