Trust your gut.

The first thirty seconds of your interaction with any place, objects or person are enough for you to know about whether or not you’re going to stay with it/them.

It’s an unchanging process.
You interact, your gut relays a message to your brain, you ignore.

In the case where the vibe is good, clear, all positive, it’s fine. You have no reason to think twice.
In the case where the vibe isn’t that great, this is what will happen.
You’ll be coerced into interaction. Over a span of time, you’ll assume that you may have judged too soon and that these things aren’t as bad as you first thought them to be.
And over some more time, you’ll be presented with more interaction and there will be more things, good and bad, that you will discover. Every time you find something bad, the scale will tip over to a minus fifty and every time you find something good, it’ll tip back to zero.

The critical time comes when you have to choose between 2 entities, one being what you already have and the other, an unexplored possibility.
You will almost always choose the unexplored possibility.
Because, you know enough about this one to know you don’t want to stay with it.
Because you know nothing about the other one, but feel it may be more promising than what you have.
Because, truly and really, you don’t want what you have.
And thus, you have found reasons to move away from it.

Our gut always talks. We just never listen.
