Have you ever noticed how new things can make you feel good?
Like how new sheets and blankets on your bed make you sleep better. Or a new hair style or new clothes give energy and confidence. A new toothbrush cleans your teeth better. New slippers are always warmer and softer. The first snowfall of winter brings excitement for skating and hot chocolate. The list goes on and on.
And yet, there's something to be said for things that are old. The comfort and support of something familiar. Something you know you can trust and depend on. With history and character and stories from its time.
There are cities throughout the world, especially in Europe, that are a mix of old and new. Tradition combining with technology, The hustle and bustle of a modern city fitting into a blueprint from the past. Architecture blending and jumping from crafted stone to sleek glass and steel. There's so much going on all at once, things that shouldn't fit together so nicely flowing in among each other. It's fantastic.
DFTBA,
