What is it about this place

This is an old blog from my last blog site many years ago...thought I'd reminisce.

I was asked a very good question the other day that I have yet to fully anwser "What is it about this place that you love so much?" I don't expect anyone to really understand why I decided to move out here,why I chose to live in this house with these people, in this neighborhood.I just love it. I love waking up in the morning to the old house smell, and the sun beaming down through my window. I love the house in all it's personality and inperfections. I love reading in the evenings, coffee shops at night. Early mornings waiting for the bus, poetry on the max, rush hour traffic. Working on the weekdays,and parties on the weekends. I love the neighborhood with all it's little shops. I love living by an university, with so many resources and possible new friends. I love exploring the city, on my own and with friends. I love feeling distant and slightly unatainable.I love not taking things I love and want to do for granted. I love that this is new and still mysterious. I love that this is mine. That this is mine to experience, something all my own.And I did this. I chose to be here, to put myself out there. I love that there is just another adventure waiting around the corner, and I have no idea what it might be, or how it might have referrence to my life. What can I say-- I just love it. And the best thing is, I'm still continuing to learn what it is about this place I really love. We'll just have to see. ~September 2005
