Who am I?
My name is Autumn Hope Kirby. I’m just a girl, living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I make fine jewelry for a living and when I’m not tangled up in diamonds and deadlines, I’m having cocktails and conversations with friends. Those conversations land here for you.
It’s Never Ending…
A Manhattan Moment began as a subway thought, a conversation over cocktails, a weekend depression spiral, a one night stand, a falling out with a friend and a heartbreak.
I started journaling as if I was the character in a beach read. I found it was making my moments alone feel less…well, lonely. As I recounted that weeks activities or conversations and was able to ground myself and apply removed perspective – everything started to feel a little bit more magical.
My hope is that as I share raw thoughts and feelings in an effort to remember I’m not alone, that I’m able to help others feel a little less lonely as well.
We live in a world dedicated to showing the best version but we all have a version that isn’t award winning, and that part of you deserves to be recognized too. The sooner we love in spite of perfection, is the moment we begin to heal not only ourselves but everyone we meet along the way.
