What's your story?

The city moves very fast. Surprisingly not as fast as I expected, but still at a good pace. Some people do walk slow, those that have nowhere in particular to be. But most are walking fast enough to get a good workout. I fall somewhere in between. I often wonder where these people are going and what their story is. I want to know why they're here and what they go home to at night. I've definitely seen every type of person here in the city; every age, race, size, and everything in between. No two people are the same, but everyone has a story. Everyone came from somewhere, everyone is going somewhere. But unless I stop every person on the street, I will never know. I will have to live with that.

Well I've decided I'm going to love Wednesdays, along with every other day of the week. I slipped into a different world today, something I should be used to by now. Today was my first day as a music marketing intern; and I fell in love. Music is something that has always been an escape for me. It takes me away from screaming kids on the bus, it takes me away from boredom and loneliness, and it throws me into a state of bliss. I didn't know, however, that there is a science behind music. But I quickly found out today, and will continue to explore every aspect of it on Wednesdays and Fridays for the remainder of the year. The company I'm interning for is about 6 miles from where I live, unfortunately way too far to walk, forcing me to take public transportation. And once again forcing me to wonder where everyone is coming from and going. I quickly found out that everyone takes the bus; old and young, wealthy and poor, etc. I guess everyone has to get where they're going somehow. As do I. Although taking a bus isn't the easiest (or the cleanest) thing to do, it get's me from A to B, and for that reason I should not complain. 

One thing I have learned from my experience so far...no matter how bad of a day I have, there is always someone who has it much worse. Always. Fortunately, today was a great day for me. For the first time in a long time I feel a sense of pattern and structure. I feel like I'm starting to find myself, although I realize that will still take some time. And I feel a sense of belonging...I belong here, in this realm that I've created for myself.
