With a cold, I’ll be stuck in the flat for the next few afternoons.
I just looked out my front balcony at my little quiet street that I live on, and it easily makes me appreciate this small town that I live in, as well as the simplicity of it all.
The most difficult aspect of living here for me is not seeing my family and friends back home as much as I used to, even though I feel compelled to stay because the United States has become too wasteful and too fast for me. It appears that all of my friends are purchasing cooling systems as well as boilers in order to improve their homes, when everything was enjoyable to begin with. I’ve seen it time and again with people building larger homes, far more than they need to exist, and all of their energy goes into consumption, leaving none for creative endeavors. I left my local business in 2008 to move to New York City to pursue comedy full-time, and I’m glad I did because working on HVAC duct cleaning tasks every day was sucking the soul out of my body. There is nothing wrong with trading in addition to making money, but when you feel like there is something in you that needs to come out, you must listen as well as pursue it. I ran my local contractor for ten years before deciding that I needed a break from the Heating and Air Conditioning component world as well as the hustle and bustle of weekly life back home.
