scenery
I was really quite sick and tired of work, so I claimed my time-off to take a breather. I decided maybe I should visit a bookstore - it is my favourite thing to do whether I am feeling high or low... It is therapeutic after all, I know because I got two books and paid for them at the counter within ten minutes after I stepped into the bookstore.
Today has not been the best day but good enough I guess. I just wasn't feeling very well from whatever I ate yesterday or this morning. And so I had a simple croissant and chamomile tea for dinner at Starbucks while I started on one of the books. It was just sad... That I had to stop for a while and look out of the window. I always like the window seat. Speaking of which, that Starbucks has since changed... About 4 years back, I was sitting at the same corner, only difference is it was a couch not a table and chair. I remember having nothing but my android tablet with me and I just kept crying for hours. Today reminded me a little of that day, but I am all good.
I had my ear plugs on while I made my way home. That song that Max recommended me last week has been on loop for the last three or four days at least... It was a timely recommendation I guess, perhaps because there is just something that I need to recover from. While my world was slightly blocked out by the song on loop, I was still observing my surroundings, like a movie that had its sounds turned off but you could still make out some of the scenes. Some were beautiful, and they made me smile. Random people and their little acts of kindness are just one of the most beautiful scenery in this busy city.
I am still trying my hardest to recover, both physically and mentally. Somehow, somewhat, there is an end to everything, isn't it?

Yes :) you, everyone we care about, will find the light at the end of the tunnel eventually.
