Sometimes I come across certain things such as a miracle that causes my shrink-ey instincts to ring alarm bells telling me that it certainly can be explained by psychology, or that it wasn't a miracle at all - and then I remember that God surpasses all human understanding, that we're not anywhere close to figuring out the capabilities and fragility of the human mind and never will be able to completely.

I've never been happier
to be in Huddersfield.
It's a beautiful little town, and my apartment is perched on a hill overlooking other little hills (as you can tell it's a hilly area).
I was miserable in New York, pretty much for the whole 2 years I was there. Apparently the atmosphere contributes a very large part of whether I like a place or not, even if I do like the people in it. I couldn't wait to get away from Kansas too, and I remember the dreadful feeling of being miserable when I first arrived at both these places. Kansas for me was a little dead, although the people certainly more than made up for it. New York on the other hand, was too much. And dirty, might I add. There never goes by a day when I am not harassed on the streets, quite literally. I hardly went out, and preferred to stay indoors most of the time to avoid the craziness of the city.
I wouldn't say I was miserable in Melbourne, I went through quite a bit but was too young to really understand or be affected by what was going on. So that city remains somewhat beautiful to me, albeit tainted here and there.
Kuala Lumpur was, well, messy, for the lack of a better word. I was in a mess, the city seemed like a mess to me, I was just all over the place trying to find a firm ground.
But Huddersfield seems to be different. It's the first place I truly do not mind moving to. It's got everything I like - clean air (this is really important to me), not so crowded but not so dead either, lots of greens but lots of shops too (yeap this place has them both), and oh the weather. Certainly my kind of weather. Gloomy, not so sunny, cool.
Well, well, I've only been here for a day or two, so we shall see how goes it, shan't we :)
