I drive to groceries, and I have grown to like them more and more over the years. There is something so freeing, so powerful about just being able to walk into a grocery store and just CHOOSE what you'll have for dinner. It does not make for the best planned meals, of course... but it's so relaxing, in a weird way!

When I lived in Waterloo, I was 30 minutes walking from the closest grocery store (I did not own a car). I rarely cooked, and strongly identified as someone who does not cook.

When I moved to Vancouver, my new place was a whopping *1 minute* from the closest grocery store. A small, intimate location with earthy-smelling produce. Cooking is now something I do regularly, with great joy.

A friend once advised me that I would be far more motivated to learn to play the guitar, if I had a sweet sounding one, and I am beginning to see the wisdom in that. I think we undervalue how much our external circumstances affect our behaviour.
