If I Could Live in Any Public Place, What Would I Choose?

And why this is a useful and fun game to play

I was looking around my very small room and on one side, I thought, “that looks like a library.” On another, I thought, “oh that looks like an art classroom.” That just started my imagination going, wondering if I could pick any public place to live in, where would it be?

I have been a navel-gazer (obsessed with self-awareness) all my life. Yet, I never seem to know enough about myself. I have many interests. I call myself a Jill of Many Trades, Master of None. I’ve been feeling lately that I need to let some things go and prioritize so I can have hope of mastery over at least one of my interests. To that end, I have become super-attuned to how I make choices with my time, and how that defines me. The goal is to make choices that are highly-resonant and let the others go.

Hence, this game. Come on. Play with me. You have to suspend reality. First, in what public place would I not want to live? I will not ever choose a clothing store, a hardware store, or any government building, like a courtroom. I love being in parks and in nature, such as at the beach. But still, I would not choose to live there. A supermarket even if it had a deli and a kitchen would be awesome, but I still wouldn’t feel at home there. A library is getting close, as I love books…
