small.
my new office has two windows. they both overlook the two loft buildings i've lived in downtown. and if i squint, i can pretend to see over the broadway bridge to vml, where i worked for 3 years. on the way to work, i pass the kansas city star and barkley. both places i've worked. both places i've loved.
and as i settle in to having an office with a door that i can shut. to being able to play music without needing headphones. to the new street and the new view and the new co-workers, i am struck, again, but how much of my life has centered around the same several-block radius.

I had the same realization when I could look out the window of my office at Fleishman Hillard and see pretty much every place I'd worked in Kansas City except for the couple of years I freelanced from home when we were in Kansas. Have lived in this neighborhood for close to 30 years and driven the exact same route to work the whole time. I don't know if that's comforting, or just one giant rut.
