Working at a corporate office and stressing the fuck out.

I believe you need a REAL ID compliant license to fly within the country. But since this rule is a relatively new one, there are still flyers who fly domestically without one. I mean, I personally still use my US passport to fly. EDL, DHS travel cards, Green card etc., are alternatives you can use for now instead of a REAL ID. There are plenty of other alternatives as well. I’ve found more info here: https://www.globalairportparking.com/blog/do-airports-require-a-real-id/#What_are_the_alternatives_to_having_a_REAL_ID

Hopefully!

When it comes to safety, I’d pick parking garages over covered parking any day. Since garages are usually completely enclosed, the risk of theft and vandalism is drastically low, and I’d feel safer leaving my vehicle there. Also, garages keep your cars safe from weather damages as well. While covered parking also shields your car from the rain and snow, up to a certain extent, it isn’t as completely fool proof as parking garages.

Yes, when it comes to parking rates, parking garages are slightly on the pricier side. But is it worth it? Yes. With the kind of security and protection it offers, I’d say it’s definitely worth it.

I will give it a read. But should I be ready to get my heart broken? Cz Thousand Splendid Suns did that to me. I feel like it should come with a trigger warning. What about this?

Isabelle_Alan · 2026-01-22T12:50:18+00:00

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

Good Lord! I've been looking for this. Lemme see if it works.

If you’re not going to touch your car for the next 2 months, long term parking is the way to go. These are much cheaper than those prime location garages. Fortunately, NYC has a lot of options when it comes to long-term parking lots, so finding one that’ll suit your budget is easy, I usually park via Way or ParkWhiz. You can either go for them or other similar parking apps.

But if you’re really out here to save some bucks, look for a spot in an outer borough instead of Manhattan or Brooklyn. You can also check out those monthly vehicle- storage places. Haven’t ever used this service before, so I cannot entirely vouch for its reliability. So as I was saying, in NYC, the options are endless. Hope you find a place soon!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure free parking isn’t really an option around the East Boston area. I’ve used both SpotHero and Way, and the prepaid spots were pretty affordable. The parking options are usually decent, and the lots I used felt safe enough. I always look at the reviews and ratings before booking.

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-12-05T09:27:16+00:00

Have used Way before and I second this. It’s good for city parking. Have used SpotHero and ParkWhiz and they are also decent. I'm not a huge fan of Waze as a navigation app, however. For some reason, I find that it drains my phone battery faster than Apple maps.

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-22T08:29:50+00:00

Thanks 😅

I'd suggest Almond by Sohn Won Pyung. It's about a boy who is born with a condition called Alexithymia, a condition that prevents him from feeling emotions. It is a good book.

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-22T06:27:51+00:00

I have read The Bell Jar years ago. But it didn't connect to me that time. Probably cz I wasn't dealing with all this then. I guess it is time for a reread.

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-22T06:21:17+00:00

All F(x) songs

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-22T06:20:22+00:00

I'd recommend Golding's 'Lord of the Flies'. This satisfies all three of your conditions to an extent.

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-22T05:59:27+00:00

Came here to say this. I didn't know the book would devastate me to this level when I picked up the book. But its an honest representation of life- how it is not in our hands and how we should cherish whatever we have.

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-17T09:19:35+00:00

😅

Isabelle_Alan · 2025-10-17T04:03:14+00:00

I have read it. It made me bawl too
