It's been done. Repeatedly. I'm bored of the NYC story. There are other parts of the US.
If anything, it should be the other way around. Young artist comes to New York, realize rent is too high to dedicate all their time to the arts, so they take a creative marketing job at some firm and slowly morph into their parents, except without the financial ability to buy a house in the suburbs. They also realize that the options NYC has to offer means they'll forever be passing on imperfect dates hoping to land the perfect one, only to find themselves bored and alone at 40, hitting up an ex who moved to Texas with her boyfriend and is now pregnant.
It's far, far truer than anything you'll see on TV.

But how many feature a high-functioning autistic gay man who likes slasher movies, old French films, Japanese tokusatsu, Magic the Gathering, retro video games, and making his own ice cream?
You're not special. There are thousands of people here just like you, who like exactly what you like. Take a number and join the hustle if you want, but paradise beckons not.
