Place

When I think of my relationship with place I believe that I have two different relationships. My physical relationship is important, most of the places I go; I go there for a reason. They help keep me balanced, that is why I go to certain places for calmness, fun, and responsibility. The other relationship I have with place is the mental one. I can go to any place I want in my head. So when I’m in a place I don’t care to be I can change my mood by going to a different place and that is the relationship that helps keep me sane and able to do things I don’t want to do.

It’s important to have a sense of place because if you don’t your just wandering and most things don’t get accomplished when you’re wandering. It’s hard to know what your next move is if you don’t know where you’re at, if you’re not balanced. Place is also important because people use it to define you. They look at where you in the class system, what place you are in your class ranking, where you live and they use these places to define and judge you. It may not be fair but it is second nature for people to judge and these are things people are often judged by.
