I saw a girl walking down the street the other day while reading a paperback novel. Ignoring the world around her, just walking along the sidewalk with a book held in front of her face. Zombies: Quit living in fantasyland and join the life abundant, before you go splat.

  2. Hey there!

    I do this sometimes when I’m feeling anxious. I walk the same route every day and it’s relaxing to go somewhere else when I don’t have any new podcast to listen to, and my thoughts are a bit dark at the time. I don’t need to look out for cracks in the sidewalk because I know where they are, and even while reading my peripheral vision works and I can manage to still smile and nod at the people I’m passing by.
    Sorry that you’re feeling so jaded, being called a dummy for sure didn’t help my day. Best to ya and I hope you’re able to feel better about those around you.

    Once someone stopped me to tell me I looked like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. That’s the opinion I’m going to hold on to.

    Cheers!
