San Francisco pt. 1: Thoughts about a city that has everything good

Big cities have always been good at challenging my self worth. There’s nothing quite like walking the streets as a tourist while knowing your peers are doing the same as workers on their lunch break.

San Francisco was no exception. Except it was worse.

*Near the Land’s End area — the waves crashing on the rocks reminded me of Oryukdo in Busan, South Korea.*

It had everything a shiny city does, plus more. My favourite mountains and oceans, hills and beautiful houses — it had everything.

*Ocean Beach. Lake Ontario is big, but it’s no ocean.*

*#Views from Nepenthe, a restaurant with crazy lines. It started raining when we were done our food and we got to see a double rainbow – the only good thing about rain.*

*Bring a jacket when you go to Twin Peaks. It’s very, very cold.*

It made me wonder what it would be like to live a different life where I’m not Flora who’s only half employed, but Flora with a cushy job at a big tech company, Flora on her way to her second promotion, or Flora the influencer.

But are those lives what I actually want? Or just lives I want because I see others living them?
