How can one location of the world inspire so much change in a person's psychology and being. New York doe this to me. Whenever I am here, I simply feel enlivened. Maybe its something in the air that reminds me of who I am, what I want in life, what I think is beautiful and not.
I have come to accept that India is shallow. A shallow person with not much to offer. Although he is of another culture, religion, and background, he lacks the intellect and passion for life that creates a well round person. It is not my job nor is it in my power to change the person that he is or is meant to be. I would love to inspire him in some way to look in side himself and understand himself more, but after 8 months, what i have done for him? He is so stubborn, he won't even take me to an Italian restaurant because he doesn't like italian food... although i like to think of myself as a lofty powerful woman, changing someone is not my job nor my priority.
New york reminds me of what my job and priorities are in this life of mine and I hope to pursue them from now on.
