This evening I went out for a walk in the rain. It wasn’t cold and the red lights of Korean BBQ places made it feel warmer.
I walked into a Blenz coffee shop, a few semi-opened umbrellas were huddled by the entrance and there were about 5 or 6 people inside. I went up to the counter and ordered a hot chocolate, took a seat and looked around. The lights were a cozy warm yellow, and there were postcards and pictures and cute art pinned on the wall.
As I waited I listened to the beginning of “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne playing in the background.
Some people worked on their laptops or read while others spoke in low soft voices.
It was a calm moment that made me appreciate those special times when things move slowly. (My rec- listen to the song but on low volume)
“what are they doing? who are they seeing? nobody? really?? what are they working on? where are they going? how are they spending their time?? do they even still exist??” NOBODY KNOWS NICE TRY MWAHAHAHA I AM AN ENIGMA
