woke up before sunrise… around 5am or something. the world looked half-asleep, like even the air hadn’t woken up yet. went to the car repair place (it was actually fun seeing all the cars lined up waiting to be repaired; like they’re waiting for a hair appointment or smthin) and honestly it felt kinda nice just being outside that early. the sky was pale grey-blue, and the streets were empty except for a few delivery trucks and tired-looking commuters. i forgot how soft mornings can be when you’re actually present for them.
took the train n bus home after. when i got home, i ended up watching ashita, mama ga inai, and....... that movie caught me off guard a bit. it’s quiet but heavy (and very entertaining to say the least.) the way they showed those kids… man, it hurt. every little moment of them trying to act okay while obviously not okay just hit. i think what got me most was how the movie never tried to fix everything, it just showed life as it is. not polished, not fair, just raw. that kind of honesty always gets to me :[
the main girl especially… she tries so hard to be grown-up, to control things she can’t, and that’s something i think a lot of people secretly understand, even as adults. there’s this one scene (you’ll know if you’ve seen it) that just stays with you because it’s not even about what’s happening; it’s about the silence in between. that pause where you realize you’ve been holding your breath the whole time.
i went the park. the air felt so much lighter than my brain, haha. watched the sun go down. sometimes you really do need air that hasn’t been filtered through a screen. fresh air’s the best medicine; cheapest too!! :]
now it’s late, and i’m just sitting here trying to decide what to eat for dinner. something warm, maybe. maybe i’ll just raid the fridge....
koi logging out (for now!!) >:DD
