The place where I live, I assume that when most people think about where they live they think of a city or a town just some place. So, I could talk about my home town of Rochester, MA I could describe the corn fields the cranberry bogs the small community. I could talk about the smell of the pollen in the summer air or how it looks when it snows outside but I don’t consider this town to be the place I live. I google the definition of “live” and one of the definitions was “to continue to have life; remain alive”. When I think about where I continue to have life where I remain alive I think about the people I surround myself with I think about the stories we share the laughs all the good times we have and that’s the place I live. I live in the comfort of social interaction. If I had to describe it as a place I would use my friend’s house as an example. Imagine you’re sitting around a fire it’s never cold because the summer nights are cool but not too cool there’s talking and laughing and music it’s never silent there’s always a noise. You take a look to right or your left and all it takes is a single sentence to start a conversation that could last an hour. There’s no stress of the things you think about when your mind has nothing else to concentrate on instead you’re enjoying yourself you’re smiling laughing or even yelling at some points just so someone across the fire can hear you or just because what you’re talking about requires some dramatization. I count this as the place I live because of the feeling I get when I surround myself with a lot of people, the best way to describe it is just a vibe. A vibe I get when I look around and see so many people enjoying themselves having a good time. Not caring about whether their boss is being a dick to them or how their college grades are. They’re smiling because they’re living in that moment and that’s where I live that’s where I’m alive not the house I live in or the town I’m from or this state. The place where I live is where I’m surrounded by strangers having a good time.
