I don't remember when i first went to this city or when i slowly fell in love with it. Now when i look back at it I have fond memories of strolling down those hills and going down the path that is so familiar to me. Its amazing how a foreign land can become your home or be familiar with it so much that it becomes a part of you. When I first went to Seattle and landed in Tacoma i had connected it with Ann Rules book stranger beside me which was about the serial killer Ted Bundy thats all i knew.
Then something amazing happened to me I listened to Nirvana, Kurt Cobain was from the Washington state and he was last in Seattle before he left us. Nirvana and Seattle go hand in hand because of the grunge culture that was born there. Now in year 2020 after at least visiting Seattle for 35 times or listening to Kurt sing over 100 times I don't think they are foreign to me anymore.
I am always amazed at my ability to make something strange my own and love it with all my heart, this truly has been one example of me exploring two things back to back and then finding a connection between them. I will always cherish both of them for as long as i can.....true nirvana is achieved when you feel tranquil in what you do and how you feel.
