Whenever I feel sad, I like to go on a walk. A long one. I especially like to walk through verdant parks and beside babbling rivers. I pass people: the new couple rendezvousing after work, the father tossing a frisbee for his daughter to chase, the dog walkers and the two best friends. Each person woke up in their own bed and started their day the way they always do. They have their own set of friends, their bespoke morning routine, and their favourite album they put on once in a while. I sometimes yearn to hear their conversations. I wonder where they’re headed. As I pass each person, each cluster of life, it reminds me that they too are experiencing their own version of this fleeting moment - a mere dot on the vast canvas of life, just like me. With that, the weight of my isolation lifts a little and I do not feel so alone.
