I fell in love with Seattle this summer.

Falling in love with Seattle is like a particularly tacky sentence, just like watching a famous movie about Seattle, and then you can't control yourself.

In fact, I have been in this city for two years, and I didn't feel like her more and more until recently. Therefore, I am curious about the origin of this slow fever. What made me fall in love with this city in the northwest corner of the United States?

Maybe there is a good income here? At least, this income makes me want to eat, wear or even play without too much hesitation. It can also be said that my Taurus pays attention to material things. Although matter is not everything, it is the foundation and guarantee of many things.

Maybe it's a state of constant groping at work? This is particularly important. It seems that from a long time ago, I lost any fascination with the rumored stable job.

This may be related to the growth process. Although I grew up in a state-owned factory when I was a child, what I witnessed was that my parents came out of there and accumulated and managed their lives bit by bit. When I was in the middle of my undergraduate course, I came up with a set of small theories: people who seek stability cannot be stable.

At present, my work is often in a groping state, and there are many things to learn, some of which are quite difficult. However, compared with those who are far away from convention and unpredictable and complicated, this job, which requires continuous learning, has given me a stable belief. Yes, continuous learning and progress, this self-innovation change is actually closer to my understanding of stability.

Decent income is not recent, and the working status has always been the same. Why did you fall in love with Seattle recently?

Summer in Seattle is particularly mild, with mild heat during the day and cool at night. Does this mild summer make me feel a little proud when I watch the 40-degree news in China, so I love Seattle?

Of course not.

I think it's because of inner peace. This sense of stability comes from a new understanding of freedom.

I have always believed that freedom needs a foundation. This is also the reason why I have been pursuing something materially. Because, in my opinion, this is the biggest foundation. But in fact, freedom has another meaning. In other words, there are other things on the basis of those pursuits. That is, I live the life I want in the way I want.

On Friday night, I want to eat potato chips on the sofa. Have a whim and write an article.

On Saturday morning, it was a little ceremonial, but I tidied up my room without affectation and cleaned up the mess accumulated in a week. After taking care of my small space, I pulled up the blinds, as if to announce that two days completely belonging to me had begun.

Then, time passed slowly. From Saturday noon to Sunday night, I read books, code words, cook, walk, practice calligraphy occasionally, play basketball occasionally, turn on the company computer occasionally and study something. I may order a McDonald's on a whim, or simply go downstairs and buy a roast chicken wing and a zero-coke munch.

What makes you happy is not only chewing, but also the sense of self-satisfaction when you spit out good articles, the excitement of epiphany when you read good books, and the joy of the pen tip when you practice good words.

In fact, I do many things for myself, and my inner panic is much less. Then, it seems that I opened my eyes again and saw the beautiful scenery around Seattle.

Some people say that cities in China are the same everywhere, with many high-rise buildings and heavy traffic. In fact, American cities are also very unified. There are many cyclists in left-wing cities, and there are many guys with beards in right-wing cities. Then there are McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, China City, cement expressway, communities with distinct income levels, and downtown areas with little content at night.

Many times, what makes you fall in love with a city is not how special it is. It's not because of the landmark that tourists linger in the city that you have memories.

Falling in love with a city is often a coincidence. You have entered a certain state of life in this city, and this city happened to witness this process, so she became unique.

Two days ago, it was my second anniversary.

Including the summer of internship, this is my fourth summer in Seattle. I landed in the United States for four years, although it was two years in new york and two years in Seattle. What a coincidence! Seattle stayed with me for four summers.
