there are so many beautiful trees in the neighborhood

I was in quite a sour mood this morning when I stepped out of the house for an impromptu walk. On a whim, I walked a different path than I usually do and somehow stumbled into the most beautiful neighborhood I’ve ever seen- mine. I took so many pictures, every house had beautiful trees, gardens and overall architecture. The lawns even, instead of uniform astroturf we’re full of wildflowers- violets, daisies, dandelions and the like. I was stunned, I’ve lived here for 2 months and never thought to walk in the opposite direction. A lot of my frenzied anxieties were quelled, my desperate desire to be back in the heart of an even bigger and sprawling city was nulled. I’ve been really quite worried and focused on what I’m gonna do and where I’m gonna go next, to the point that it’s been making me ill.

My best friend sent me a wholesome meme last year. It said “actually, life is beautiful and i have time.”
