london reflections

have been thinking a lot lately. walking around london. and thinking. clearly didn't come out with any useful thought, but still. have been thinking.


sometimes looking at things from a different perspective helps. defocus. maybe you see that things are not so bad after all, and stop whining. maybe not, but still you've gained a different frame. which helps. sometimes.
like looking in the opposite direction when you're crossing the street. surely helps. at least i'd stop bumping into cars.


many things are pretty different here. not only because they drive on the wrong side of the road. a lot different. better?? huh, dunno. different, for sure. just wondering whether it looks appealing just because it's different...


appealing... big word. plus not entirely true.
would i see me here? maybe. but doing what... would i see me here with astrophysics? mmm tough call. probably more than how i see me doing it now. but is it enough? can't really change things just by changing places. at the end of the day, nothing has changed, after all.


curiosity. that one i have, for sure. but curiosity mixed to fear is not the best cocktail. guess i'm curious to see what could happen if i were doing something else. if i were a different person. but it's probably too late for that.


and it's probably too late to be thinking about that.
too late.
time to sleep.
