As I sit here on the rooftop overlooking the city a rush of thoughts fill my mind. The zooming cars that seem so small from here, the constant city noise beckoning from all directions from both people and traffic alike. Passenger trains entering in and out of the city constantly. The perspective from up here is majestic in comparison to the ground level. The calmness up here keeps my mind from being swept up in all of the mundaneness below. People repeating commutes daily the constant movement, and inability it seems to ever slow or calm the pace down. It all projects a sudden rush almost an anxiety that casts over humans in every day life. As I sit high above the city however the pace slows, the speed of time, changes, and it feels as if nothing else matters from up here. When I need an escape from the everyday life this is where I go to think. Giving myself the birds eye view of my little city puts much of life into a different perspective for me. Reaching into my mind I start to unravel the spider web of thoughts racing around my brain. Questions I ask myself such as why us humans are so content with living in a nonstop rat race. Why do we seem all the same size in this bustling city at the ground level, but looking down from up here on the ant sized people, why do I feel so much calmer. Is it because it puts the whole world into the same perspective that we can only see things through our own lense? Many people struggle with seeing things from another point of view or changing there way of thinking. Sitting high above the city however gives me a whole new perspective on things every time I come here to collect my thoughts. Whenever I feel a mental block I know it’s time to go redirect my mind away from the turmoil of every day life. Many people have a similar kind of solace they find in certain places. For some it’s the comfort of there own bed or working on something in there garage. For the sportsman type it could be a hunting blind or favorite fishing spot. Regardless of the circumstance almost everyone has some sort of place they go to unwind, and unravel there thoughts to improve there mental state. For me it just happens to be sitting high above the city.
