I’m grateful to have lived in Seattle, a place that’s open and abundant with nature. Last weekend, while taking a walk in Pioneer Square to grab some lunch, I ended up taking a small detour that led me to the ferry docks. Something about looking out at the water always brings me serenity.
You see, I feel highly motivated to work, yet I also tend to get easily distracted. It might sound cliché, but there’s something about gazing out at large bodies of water that helps me concentrate on a particular topic or idea that I struggle to focus on otherwise. Even though the trip to the ocean from Pioneer Square didn’t seem significant initially, once I arrived and took in the surroundings, I found myself fully engaged, able to flesh out ideas for my school projects.
However, it’s not just being in nature that sparks my creativity; it’s specifically the presence of water. There’s a unique quality to its vastness and the way it encompasses everything around it, expanding my field of view and allowing me to think more deeply.
