Tweedle Li: do anything!
I just wanna see your side of the world for a day
You've more or less seen mine
NNN:
I'm not a fan of the candidness of my life
Sorry
That's why i don't share as much
I don't like my life photographed candidly but I love my Tweedle and I think I should succumb to having some touristy photos or else leave with none. This is my one hour ride from Montclair, New Jersey into New York that I take approximately four times a week because I work or I get bored. I don't like the 'stop, red light, go, green light' of school and syllabus. It makes me edgy so I need to be busy.
I take the NJ transit from my stop - Little Falls Montclair State University, right across from my dormitory. Taking the Montclair-Boonton line, I go past Upper Montclair; Watsessing Avenue, Mountain Avenue, Broad Street, Secaucus, to name a few stops, before I get to New York Penn Station which is right below Madison Square Garden. This is me, a couple of times a week. When I'm on the train I either write in my journal, sleep or read. I've done this a hundred times but taking the train is still one of my favourite things about being here. I know one day I'll be old and miss it.
The last few days have been filled with shock and grief and a bit more shock with how I'm dealing with it. It's alien, seeing myself like this, having all the love I never knew I had for someone, turned inside out. Now things are as close to normal as they're going to get but geez, I still miss Mikh and the idea of hugging him again does sound so so nice. But it's okay now. "Everything that's happening here and now, it's okay."
Aside from the cold inside, outside it's gotten down to -11˚C which is an abomination. Prior to Sunday there wasn't any snow but a blizzard came nigh and lo, it's hailing. Fun? *shrugs* I'm so indifferent the experience is wasted on me. Geographically my thrills lie in content, character and culture. Snow just turns barren, deserted Montclair into cold, white, barren, deserted Montclair.
