Wherever you land, it's someone's hometown

Good evening. I've been slacking on my notes. Haha.

I haven't been able to go far lately, but I have been getting off at various stations nearby.

I always have some kind of purpose when I go.
But besides that, I always make sure to set aside time for a walk.

I walk through residential areas for no reason.
There are people living there.

There's an old lady talking about life lessons.
I listen in casually. Haha.

Everyone has their own life.

I've been reading books lately, but I feel like I'm not experiencing enough primary information happening around me...
Things that aren't on the internet or in books, things you feel on your skin, things that hit you like a blast of wind—nothing happens unless you go out and grab them.
I want to spend time in places different from usual and keep my mind active.

I really think that acts of breaking away from your routine are important sometimes.
Because once you become a working adult, you get so caught up in everything that you probably even forget to take a deep breath.

It's also super important to tune your five senses in an unfamiliar town and free yourself from the daily hustle and bustle.
While waiting for those interesting encounters that happen every once in a while.

That's what I thought on this autumn day.
