Woke up at 6 today and drove out to a service station to take some pictures of the cars as they went by.
Carspotting?
Also, just a random thing I forgot but on Valentines a couple days ago I experienced a moment that made me feel really human. I was waiting at the train station with some flowers, waiting for Mimi to arrive, and this woman next to me saw the flowers and said "I hope she arrives!" and I replied "Yeah, me too!" lol.
But that wasn't it, cos like a minute later this other guy, about my age, came into the station with some flowers and assumed a position parallel with me, waiting for his Valentine too. I felt a weird sense of community, like, yeah, me and you are in the same boat right now. I'm wondering where she is too.
I really wanted to say something to him, to just laugh at the fact we were two strangers and yet here we were doing the exact same thing, waiting for someone in a train station with flowers. I didn't say anything though because I didn't wanna be awkward, and soon after Mimi arrived and the entire experience left my mind until it re-appeared right now.

Rain is beautiful when you have somewhere dry and warm to be afterwards. It just started raining a lot so I took a break from my busy day to just stand outside for a minute or two and soak it all in - literally.
Never thought grey cloudy skies could make me feel so happy - a nostalgic kind of happiness. One day I'll be standing outside and I'll be in a different garden, and that's quite sad, but life just moves so you've got to take photos whenever you can. But a moment like right now... not even a photo could capture its humble beauty.
Sitting in my bedroom, I can now hear some kids playing in the street in the rain. One day, they'll feel the way I do I'm sure.
