so, you must like living in dc?
i feel as though everywhere i travel these days i have the same conversations.
me: hi, i'm paige.
them: hi, i'm so-and-so. so, are you visiting ___? (a refreshing first question, since usually i'm asked what i do...)
my answer varies, depending on the location.
them: so, you're not from ____? where are you from?
me: originally from la, live in dc.
them: oh, then you must like living in dc. (a statement intended to provoke)
i don't know how to answer that. i want to answer, no, i really don't, but then that doesn't make any sense...especially to someone i don't know. why do i live somewhere i don't like?
but i guess i don't dislike it, i have sort of a love/hate relationship with the city of my dwelling. i love living in a city. i love the fantastic people that live here. and i'm even ok with the life i've made for myself (everyone's got room for improvement).
i dislike the negativity that i see here. it really wears me down. and i get it from so many angles - from the media all the way down to my church. i tire of the traffic and i fear for my safety. but mostly i just hate the weather. is it fair to move or live some place simply because of the weather? |
