What I Did on My Summer Vacation
It’s ok to be lonely, even in NYC. In fact, it might even be good for you. The city has a pulse that would suggest Tachycardia, and with so much stimulation, over time your brain feels abnormal if it isn’t processing something visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, and/or tactile all at once. Those synapses are busy.
A Face in the Crowd
I was traveling alone in Dallas when I met a waitress at a bar on Lower Greenville Ave. The next day I squeezed into a car with her, her sister and their friend. They told me they were going to show me Dallas. Then, for the rest of the day and late into the night, they did. This is a photo of that waitress taken at an art installation they brought me to. A friend of mine later commented that she has a sadness in her eyes well beyond her years. And yes, I saw it, I see it. I like knowing there are others who see it. I like knowing there are others who have it. It’s not that I want sadness for anyone. I just want for there to be care enough to feel it, care enough to share the weight of it. I will never see or hear from these people again and that’s okay. There is nothing better than traveling alone—having a moment, then having a longer one to yourself.
