“It lived ! And nothing could destroy it!” - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Betty Smith

What I love about Brooklyn that it lets you be yourself. Not who the world tells you to be. Not what is expected of you. It lets you dream. It lets you believe anything is possible. It lets you create & turn your fears into art. It turns weaknesses into strengths. It makes you believe (even when it’s unbelievable) that anything is possible because you are from Brooklyn ♥️ ... Why train station & Coney Island ? Because this is the first actual memory I have of Brooklyn 25 years ago
