So Mother was going to the store to buy some groceries. I decided to tag along. Figured some fresh air would do me good, even though she'd drive there. I mean, there's still some walking to and from the car a few times.

And, wow, I can't stop blabbering about it.

It's beautiful outside. Stereotypically speaking it should be SO creepy. There's mist and slight rain. It's dark and chilly and all the streets are empty. Just long, dark roads stretching into infinity. The horizon blocked by a cloud of smoke.

But, god, it is so pretty when all the lights are reflecting on the wet ground. And although it's chilly it wasn't really cold.
And I prefer to be alone. So I guess it does make sense on some levels.

But then again it was strange how I felt so at ease. See, I usually don't like to take walks when it's dark. Especially not in this neighborhood. Some people here are a little wacked. And that's not an exaggeration.
Of course there are more sane people here than not... but still.

But I felt all... safe. Safe and at home. My chest just eased up and I could BREATHE. It felt magical. I guess it was just the mood I was in. I can't explain it any better than that.
It was amazing! Like literally talking a walk inside my head.

All quiet and beautiful with all the lights reflecting everywhere, all hidden away and embraced by the mist. Dark, eerie, lonely. Yet so warming and filled with beauty.
I slowly dragged my feet back home while staring up at the street lights, singing the oh so fitting Late Goodbye to myself. And vaguely thinking of Max Payne. Fdkdshsdjkdfgl that song still gives me the chills.

... Ah, whatever. That sounds lame.
Do you know what I mean?

At least my friend Kai does, apparently :]

"I really love those kinds of walks, so I know where you're coming from. :33
We actually had that kind of weather yesterday... It's so... serene. x33"

I have to try that again.

The end.

DFTBA
