It seems that there is no way to "get away from it all" anymore. Today at work, I had a stressful day and wanted to go somewhere private and be alone. Basically what I wanted to do was hide.
I went outside and people were everywhere. THere was not a quiet nook in site. I was so stressed out that I actually welcomed the sound of the "EL". It made me feel as if my stress was being crushed squished by the loud unsteady rhythm.
Today I wanted to avoid going home for a bit after work but where would I sit? There is an alley but nowhere to sit there.
There's a park, but too many people.
Back when I was in Boulder, I used to hike every morning for about an hour and forty mins every single day. It was so quiet compared to here.. but still even at the high elevations I could hear cars and other hikers. It seems like there is no way to ever be truly alone if you are a part of society. Never alone but still lonely.
Now with blogs, it's a way to perhaps reach out and vent but still... savvy bosses are doing online searches, human resources companies are doing so as well and it's no longer safe to really say what you want.
