<p>It dawned on me today that I've been in my new apartment for about a month-and-a-half. That's already longer than any one place I stayed in the entirety of 2013. Every person, every stop, every adventure that graced my life last year that I can attach to a specific place in the world came in chunk of time smaller than the time I've spent here.</p>
<p>A month-and-a-half last year was long enough to get whisked-away on unintended nightclub adventures in Nairobi, catch shooting stars from the shores of Zanzibar and a balcony in Athens and learn functionally-phonetic Greek. This year it has been long enough to marvel at how many bananas and pounds of coffee I can go through,  work on <a title="A healthy smoothie recipe" href="/2014/06/a-healthy-smoothie-recipe/">the perfect smoothie recipe</a> and re-learn how much yoga makes me happy.</p>
<p>It has not been long-enough for me to find a chair I like yet though. Or much furniture at all, frankly.</p>
<p>Time has an elastic capacity to accommodate the number experiences we're willing to cram into it and the depth with which we're willing them.</p>
