The Currents of Change

    With the advent of moving out into my own place, everything is suddenly starting to feel a lot more solid and I feel like I am being shaken from the dream state I have been in as all these chaotic events swirl around me.  That is not to say that I am not still in love with new city, but it is nice to get a chance to step back and survey the situation.

     Now, I know that the cold and damp are not for everyone(I use these words, but I don't really feel that it is really that bad here as people it out to be), but I feel that it is pretty damn good trade off for the other things that you get with these cities.  I mean, the difference in culture diversity alone is astounding.  Now, despite how amazing a city is, I still doubt that it will stifle my wanderlust entirely.  It will be nice to have a consistent place to come back to from my travels.

     Even though it seems like many things are changing in my life, I am starting to realize that there are some things that I am simply not willing to sacrifice no matter the cost.  I feel that these attributes are intrinsically tied into who I am and anyone trying to forcibly rend them from my life do not deserve to have a place in my life.  We are not given much time in life and it is too sacred to have it spent on someone who is unwilling to realize its value.

     I feel like I spent so much of my life chasing after people that I shouldn't have been wasting my time with in the first place.  At the end of the day, it difference dawns on you between the people who have a real place in your life and those who are just there for the ride.

     In a lighter note,  I have almost been overwhelmed with how many new things there are to discover here in Seattle.  It seems like I go out every single night and still only be scraping the surface of what this city has to offer.   Gone are the days of feeling like I am settling into a humdrum entertainment regime curated by those with the depth of a damp napkin. I know this is just the beginning of a new exciting life and can't wait to plumb its depths.
