i drove to mcdonald’s after a small rain. then i
drove to rei and ate in the parking lot. i don’t know why, but doing things
alone from time does wonders for me. i walked into rei and browsed almost every
single item for an hour. i listened to new music on shuffle and even came
across my new favorite song. idk why but i bought a survival match kit along with a
travel pouch for my car. i sat in the sequoia afterwards and thought about life. i
used to do this a lot in charlotte. i’d park my car in the garage, go in there,
clean, and think about things. i’d leave the door open to the kitchen in case
bagel wanted to join. i can’t really do that here, but i’m still finding ways
to spend some time alone in the sequoia.
and time alone is always time well-spent.
