There might be a pop-culture driven image of the coldhearted and hardened New York City attorney out there — at least if you’re as big a fan of Hallmark Christmas movies as I am — but that’s hardly the truth for every lawyer out there. Plenty of esquires are just out there, living their lives, trying to eek as much happiness out of life as they can… by finding a witch to run away with.
Wait — what?
That’s right, as documented by the WhatIsNewYork IG account, a male attorney — 26, fairly tall — is seeking a witch to “purify soul, enlighten mind, and sanctify body.” Moreover, he’s “[o]pen to falling in love and running away into the wilderness.” Awww. Scripts like that just write themselves.
