City vibe
I've been thinking recently about how your environment can really have an effect on how you act and feel. This definitely includes the people that are around you, but that is specifically what I am talking about. It also includes the places you are in often, your bedroom, kitchen, office, car, etc. and the environment of those places, but that, also, is not specifically what I am talking about. I mean more of like the bigger picture. And not just all of these parts put together, but the whole things as one unit. Like the feel or vibe of a city. I mean for sure it includes all of those specifics for each person and I do think the vibe of a city is different, even if slightly, for each person. I guess for me I was specifically thinking about the different vibes I get from Seattle and Bethlehem. But not really just the vibe. That's not what I'm trying to say. But more of how I feel when I am in these places. I feel and act differently depending on where I am. Ok, and what I'm not trying to say is that we all act differently around different people. Because we do for sure. But not what I am getting at right now. It's not that I act one way in Seattle and a different way in Bethlehem. Well I do in someways I guess. But I'm saying, well what am I saying? I guess I'm trying to say that certain things feel more comfortable in certain places. And other things feel less comfortable in those places. I'm just saying that the place where you are, the natural (and man made) environment really does have an effect on you. I'm not even trying to say if it is a good or bad effect. I just have been thinking about the fact that it does have an effect. Like, ok, so I was thinking that I feel a lot more like myself since I've been in Seattle. Which is weird because I just moved here and am definitely not super comfortable with most people and places in this city. But nevertheless, I feel more like me than I ever did in Bethlehem or even New York. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I love my job and feel like it is exactly what I am supposed to be doing right now. But I really do think it has a lot to do with the city of Seattle. The vibe of the city resonates with me or something. Or maybe it resonates with my vibe. Does that even make sense? I'm not really sure what I am trying to say here. I'm just thinking. I mean I will always be me. No matter where I am. And I was for sure me when I was in Bethlehem. I am just feeling at home in my body since I've been here. Actually no, reverse that. That's not what I wanted to say. That's not true. Ummm, I dunno, yeah, I am just feeling more myself than ever before and I do think it has to do a lot with the fact that this city fits me better than Bethlehem. If any of this made sense to you, that is spectacular...
