it's evidence that external factors are just influences
partly this reassurance is more precise: somewhere inside i worried that parts of pittsburgh - associations, whatnot - are closely tied to misery. this is probably still true, but it is not true that if i'd chosen to go somewhere not pittsburgh i would suddenly be joyous all the time.
my therapist keeps reminding me that i get to take my happiness with me to SF, too.
yes, this is a weak point for me. to some degree i don't feel like i take any of me ("none worth taking") and am at the mercy of the location - which may also be why it bugs me more that mountain view is kinda soulless (though that wasn't the problem yesterday).
i put on thoushaltnot on the walk home from work today and saw my happiness again.
Yeah, unfortunately these things don't seem to have quick fixes :-/ If being busy helps (it did for me), at least there are tons of friends in the Bay Area to do things with, not to mention new stuff to do intellectually at work.
