It had been too long since I paid close attention to myself. As I sat by the water, small nymphs of some bug pattered down from the leaves above like a soft rain Kinder to my skin than any water. A fowl plucks himself, and the littlest spider begins a journey to cross me like my denim is so many stretching lands. I am interrupting nature as humbly as I can manage, two cigarettes pass and I'm tired of self-ness already But for a moment? I breathed.

I took myself on a date to a lake today. Remember to be kind to yourself.
