I'm chasing the high again
The high of repeating where I've already been
showing I'm good at going where I've already gone
in travelling a journey that I already know
and, well, it is fun
and it is satisfying
I've spent a lot of time learning these roads
and I know almost everything about them
so here's the thing
there is virtue in mastery
in learning that last final turn
in tiny optimisations
but, well, I think the time might have come
to learn a new way
and it will be a struggle
and I will be a beginner again
yet it is only by starting that new route that I will learn something truly new
it is only be stepping outside the town that I have built for myself that I will see another way the streets can be arranged
and I may not stay in that new place long, it may not be the right fit or be the wrong type of challenge
but, if done right, the city I knew will look a little different when I finally return
I will one day step back on that familiar road
but in a different way than I did before
