back to human

 

today was really such a nice day.  i went for a run down riverside and couldn't help but take a picture of the sky, and of a garden in the middle of nowhere, really.  in my own life, the presence of negative space feels so much better than how good it looks in pictures.  

i ran downtown, and then crossed over a few avenues just because i wanted to explore the neighborhood a little bit on my way back up.

out of all the places that i discovered (found a couple boutiques, and some new restaurants that i want to try), stumbling upon a barnes & noble was by far the highlight.

there's something about barnes that makes me feel really nostalgic.  i know that in a city like new york to say that i like barnes out of all the cool bookstores here is like a tourist that comes to the city and goes to an olive garden for dinner..

i can't quite pinpoint what it is, exactly, but when i crossed the street and saw a barnes in front of me i just had this really huge grin on my face.

so i just knew
that it made me really happy
and i was glad that i had found it today(:
