usually i take trains places but this time i took the greyhound, i wasnt really expecting very much, but anyway. so i get a window seat and first of all the windows are so big. it feels like ive never really seen the ‘complete horizon’ from a moving vehicle before then. anyway so it had a bunch of stops between then and orlando so at one stop, this kid (~18, 19) comes on and sits next to me. it’s weird, i just had this really odd feeling like i’d really like him. never really got that feeling before/since but anyway. something funny happened in someone else’s seat (i think someone’s luggage fell out of the overhead bin or someone was exercising some futile attempt to stuff some clearly oversized luggage into a bin) and we both kind of laughed to each other, then he started talking to me. so we were talking and it turned out he just sort of moved from place to place, got jobs, and then just left when he felt like it. like this particular time he just left his apartment with a bag of stuff and was moving to arizona. i guess whn it’s retold it doesnt sound anything but sketchy but it was really really wonderful because it was so perfect it was so much something ive always dreamed of? anyway he lived all over the place, i was so enthralled/happy when he was talking, if he asked me to go with him i wouldve dropped everything and done it. which i guess doesnt speak very highly for me because if i want to do that so badly why dont i? i guess there are so many things i want to do im trying to do the things that let me do all the things i want to do eventually. if that makes any sense. anyway i just realized how long this story is so i guess i can finish everything if anyone wants but ill leave it at that for now!
