solitary iya 2

 

The Detached Observer

So I’ve got this exact ritual where I love to just sit and watch people pass by. But nothing beats watching people do the whole solo car-camping in the woods aesthetic, or next to sketchy, abandoned houses.

What if something goes terribly wrong? Like, what if they aren't actually alone out there, and they suddenly hear a knock on the window or worse, a face is just pressed against the glass looking back at them.

Thankfully, my attention span saves me. The second they start cooking some elaborate, five-star gourmet meal on a tiny portable stove, which I can't even cook, let alone afford, I completely forget I was scared out of my mind.

Aside from the food, nature is probably the part I enjoy the most though. The best part is just breathing in fresh air and feeling a cold breeze like it's the first time all over again. Even the sounds in these videos are so satisfying. You get that ASMR of brittle leaves and twigs crunching under footsteps, especially the grinding of small stones, before they squish into wet mud. Then the rain hits the ground and you get that comforting, nostalgic scent that just fills your nose.

Moments like this make me realize that just being able to feel is a blessing.

 

 

Unbothered Introvert

If I ever get locked inside a manga cafΓ©, or if by some miracle I get left behind in a room with thousands of comics and an open snack bar...

[ a ] cancel the search party before it even starts.
[ b ] don’t even worry about me.
[ c ] consider me legally dead to my responsibilities.
[ d ] all of the above.



The first thing that comes to mind is I’d stay up way past my bedtime. And since they have unlimited free drinks, treats, endless caffeine as well as soft-serve ice cream, you know my cheap soul is gonna treat that policy like an all-you-can-eat buffet. I’d just be there hiding in a booth, eating ice cream every 20 minutes while reading:

[ a ] manga I shouldn’t be caught LOOKING at in public

[ b ] manga so spicy my friend keeps them in a hidden folder

[ c ] manga I’d fake my own death on the spot if caught reading it

[ d ] Mob Psycho 100

 

Spot the odd one out. (‾◡◝)

  Hello! It’s been 6 days since I last wrote.  So today, I just wanted to share a quote I came across years ago. It didn’t really mean much ...
