Ever get the feeling that a lifestyle/job/action/city... was something that should have been yours? Something about it just woke you up and got your adrenalin flowing? Something that reminded of old times past even though you were not really ever in the old times?
That was me the two days and the one evening I spent in NYC.
Just stepping out of the cab to walk into the Bloomberg office electrified me. A 7am-6pm day that was total information overload drained me; but stepping back into the cold evening air gave me the rush again inspite of a migraine. Meeting an old friend interjected a memorable ... and ... an undefined, yet warm and pleasant quality to the evening. The 2 mile walk through Park Avenue, Trump Tower, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square got me all nostalgic about my Melbourne days.
Did I like my sojourn in NYC? - Yes!
Do I want that life? - 5 years ago, yes ... now ... no, not so much. No, I could not take it.
Do I want something else out of my life? - Yes ... always. But, .. no ... what I yearn for sometimes is not real life. It is stuff that you dream about, but your awake mind realizes that its not practical.
So .... for now .... maybe I'll think about it in my dreams.
Or not.
I like to dream pleasant thoughts :)
