One of my favorite things to do is to walk around metropolitan area with headphones in just observe the teeming life swirl around me. I find that it helps remind me of all the possibilities that living in this city has to offer. There are so many people and each one has a story. Sure, not all of them may be exciting or relevant to me, but the fact that my attentions had been focused one person alone for so long just seems ludicrous to me now.
I really do believe that only boring people can be bored all the time, especially in a city like this. There is really no excuse or cause to be bored here. If you cannot find something to do when you are surrounded by endless possibility, you are the problem not the environment. I think that part of the reason that I am bothered so much by this behavior has to do with the fact I am usually preoccupied with ten things at a time at any given moment and I have trouble comprehending minds so vacant that they cannot find anything to stimulate or amuse them.
I am also very blessed to have found a lot of people to be close to that help me better myself and stimulate me to. I have a tendency of feeling stagnant if I keep to myself too much. I need a constant flow of new ideas and people to share and collaborate with. I guess that is part of the reason of moving here to begin with. There were some nice things about Tampa, but ultimately, I was not being intellectually fed and I had to get out before it completely killed my creative process. I try not to make a habit of harboring regrets though, I know that each event and experience is simply a another chapter that serves to shape me into who I am today.
