People from all over the place are visiting here. I'm seeing travelers everywhere. Driving, I see all kinds of different license plates. I saw a vintage convertible with a guy and a girl cruising along, the guy with a map spread across the steering wheel (I really loved this image). At work, there's a couple carrying a shitload of gear on their backs (they were so intriguing).
I'm LOVING this. All these people vacationing for the summer. There's so many interesting people in this world. Each person is like an original and ongoing story. Thinking about all the moments when you end up talking to the person standing or sitting next to you. You learn a little something about them. Then when you separate, you usually never see them again. A brief moment just to learn of each others existence. For some, it is best this way. Especially when you've had a good moment with them. You will forever think highly of them. Then there's others where you wish you could have found some way of contacting them again to learn more.
Ah yes, this summer is already full of those moments. I recently accompanied my mother to a purse party. Yes... a purse party. It is as exciting as it sounds. A big hen party. My mom and I felt completely out of place, but it was an enjoyable experience. We sat and people-watched together while eating ginger cookies and drinking some extremely sweet and foamy orange concoction. One of the women at the party intrigued me the most. She had a warming personality. I found comfort in her goofiness. My favourite physical feature about her was her sunken and bulgy eyes. She was a fun one, but definitely one of those I shall only see that once. A great encounter.
I think the best thing about these moments is that you never see them coming. Sometimes you'll go out somewhere and stand/sit next to a ton of people, but never make so much as eye contact with anyone. Then other times, you'll be interacting with every single person you come across... or maybe just a couple. Just walking down the street and BAM... a moment. *this magic momentttt* It's such a compliment sometimes. When someone talks to you or even so much as sits next to you when they had the option not to, it's like they're telling you that you aren't a threatening person. You are approachable.
Yes... I look forward to more of these moments.
Extra shizz:
I went to see my friends perform at a gig this past Sunday. 7 bands. It was a longgggg night. Just to sum it up:
Why the hell did I scrunch my face so much? Ah well.
