Every once in awhile I have a brain spasm and I'll go up the red line instead of the green one. It's insane how a place I feel like I know better than the contour of my own fucking hands instantly becomes alien the second you step outside your mental map area.

I wrote a paper a few years ago about this in my undergrad, the basic concept was some weird urban studies/psych shit about how the 'shape of the world' people create in their minds eye reinforces or influences the social behaviours you're likely to exhibit. That paper was profoundly poorly written and super anecdotal but this post makes me want to re-write it.
