The idea of having an ecosystem of third spaces i stead of relying on one exact space is really beautiful to me!

This is utterly beautiful. I had been thinking just this week about how much I need to find more of these, but you’ve crystallised the ideas so thoughtfully. I always look forward to your posts! Write a book someday.

"I don't think people fall in love with cities as much as they fall in love with the lives they've built inside them." I lived for years in multiple cities and this is true for me! Every city reminds me of a phase of my life... Third places are also so essential, especially as work becomes more hectic. #1 for me would be cafes :)

That's exactly how I think about it too! Crazy how a place can instantly bring back a whole version of yourself!! and yess to cafes 🤍
