a day at a time

just trying to write a little bit each day again. specifically, while being anonymous
it's always a strange feeling when you shout out into the ether and hear a foreign sound come back
it's both incredibly humbling, but also terrifying right?
it's like

oh wait, you can see me?

i also feel this sometimes when out and about
i love patterns and quickly fall into them
everytime i arrive at a new place, i'll find a new cafe and go there daily
well almost daily
every so often i'll take a break from the place
maybe make a coffee at home, or not drink any coffee at all

anytime i return back from my short lived hiatus, the staff always says

happy to see you again!
where'd you go?
where will you go next?

my answer

same to you
nowhere really
somewhere hopefully

usually they laugh and i can't tell if it's pity or not
