Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sophia! It’s exactly ask you expressed, so important we feel PART of something. I’m really struggling with US cities lately where the feeling isn’t as strong as other places in the world. Curious where you’ve found that has a good balance of 3rd places?
I enjoyed reading all of these examples and hearing the basic human decency among so many people. When I was younger, I would always imagine myself living somewhere out in the woods by myself and now I can't picture living anywhere but an urban area!
Thanks for your note, Rosalie! It's funny I think the same, although sometimes I do want to go live in the woods haha. But I agree urban areas that are well-designed are very pleasant to live in. Also the book you recommended by Jane Jacobs just arrived! Excited to dig in. Thanks again for the rec and for reading!
Mil gracias por leer las historias y por este mensaje, Aidee! 🥹🫶 También me recuerdo de que nosotras también nos conocimos por el Facebook marketplace. Que lindo recuerdo. Ojala todo este bien contigo, un abrazote!!
Your smiles, and the smiling faces of those that you met, say everything. Giving and receiving small acts of kindness have a positive effect on everyone involved. 😊
An abundance of accessible 3rd spaces make or break a city for me!! I just can’t live somewhere that I don’t feel a PART of!
