back to where I started
Four months already, whew. I really do have to be honest with myself - Minneapolis is really not that bad. I have to acknowledge what the real problem is. I will be dissatisfied no matter where I go in the world. I was unhappy in Hoboken, unhappy in Sydney, unhappy in Fairfax, unhappy in Dearborn, unhappy in Zaragoza, and now, unhappy in Minneapolis. Environment does have an effect on our moods, but perhaps the source of my dissatisfaction is more intrinsic than I would like to accept.
I am not easy to please. I am extremely critical of myself and tend to hold others to the same high standards. I loathe my character flaws and am puzzled when I look around and people do not seem to do the same. I become impatient and exasperated when people are lazy and lack the same amount of assertiveness that I do. When people disappoint me, my reactions become extreme and I withdraw myself from others. Kinda ironic, considering how highly I have stressed communication's importance to fostering relationships.
I find myself starting to become bored with Minneapolis. People go to the same old bars, listen to the same old music, and just do not seem to want to go out much and try out new experiences. Does Minneapolis suck the life out of people or is it the people who are trying to suck the life out of me?
I refuse to become one of those stagnant, complacent people. If I am so unhappy, I need to start doing something about it.
