Walking Fifty Miles in Snakeskin Flats.




I've never remembered being "here". At a place where everything you seem to touch, fades away or turns into an utterly twisted mess. Dream jobs turn into nightmares and it seems like any "good thing" you have going, comes to an end.

Honestly, today, I didn't know what to do or where to go. So, as expected, I bug Cam. After spending the majority of the day, either sleeping, YouTubing, ITunesing and just generally feeling poorly for ourselves, we decided to take a walk and get something to eat. It had been raining all day and there's always an interesting beauty in a city covered in rain.

After "fueling" ourselves, we continued on our trek of taking in the city, during the storm. No umbrellas, just hoodies and jackets...pure hipster fashion. :) During our walk around the city, I began to realize different things that I had always been too busy to notice. That, coupled with the overcast and rainy weather, magnified everything we took in. Long story, short...we spent the whole day, just walking all over downtown.

To some, this may not be the "perfect" idea of a "perfect" day. I used to be one of those people. I don't know what changed, but I like it. Simplicity is an amazing aphrodisiac. Plus, I kinda enjoyed looking like a complete wreck. ;)

Sometimes, I wish I could re-live certain days and experiences, over and over again.

Today was one of those days.

(Also, worth noting; I think I successfully ruined my snakeskin flats and I've never been happier.)
