Daily Prompt: Day 13: What is your favorite city in the whole world? Describe it to us
Picking a Favorite City Can Be Tough
Introspection helps
As I was thinking of the various cities where I lived, both in India and in the United States, and trying to figure out my favorite city, I found it difficult to answer the question.
You might wonder why?
I, too, was feeling the same way. I could not pick just one, and also, there was something else coming in my way of picking my favorite one.
Do you also feel the same way?
As I made an effort to think through deeper, I realized that I adapt to living in any city quickly. In other words, I firmly believe that the weather or the behavior of the residents of the city is not in my control.
It is my responsibility to first love the place and feel belonged to that place internally. Once I take that responsibility as a privilege then I start looking for all the things good in that city and make peace with myself to live there.
