I've been gone for 5 days, not long really, though I feel like I have been gone for a lifetime, to a place a world away from what I know. Vegas was, stimulating, that's really the only word that describes it, everywhere you look there are 10 things fighting for your attention and appreciation. The inner workings of the Vegas world are very specific, make girls feel important and make guys spend money, doing both of these thing leads regular people to do ridiculous things they would normally never do. Or allows people to do the things they have always wanted to do but were too scared.
Along with partying, drinking and clubbing Vegas has so much to offer in the form of magnificent shows, delectable food, and the most interesting architecture I have ever seen. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the city, the lights and intricate beat that the city has. You can feel the pulse of life in that place, it was a wonderful experience.
My companions on this trip were girls I knew in university, dear friends who I shared my life with for 4 years and since I have seen them last I have changed. I have become more confident in myself and my opinions, have become better at knowing what I want and what makes me happy. I have made these changes in my life and was nervous about showing my new self to the girls. What I had not considered was how much my friends have not changed. Seeing the girls shocked me, it took my old way of thinking and acting and basically threw it in my face. The judgement, justification, qualifying, double checking, pleasing, it was all put in front of me and I got to see how far I have come.
