Drive
It seems the happier I am the fewer words I have to share. I suppose it suits everyone’s entertainment that I experience difficulties and tortuous mental dilemmas, but I am relieved by this change in pace. There are moments when I wonder if this will last, if it’s only a result of hypomania sneaking up on me, but those questions don’t remain too long. I’m busy living life and making sure I enjoy every minute of it.
In doing so, I’ve decided to start exploring this world around me, the Southern California I’ve lived in for four years and yet know little about. Last weekend I visited a familiar La Jolla, and today, I found a hidden Glen Helen Park, near San Bernardino, thanks to Adrian’s suggestion. I parked in the upper park, full of a large grassy area and a number of picnic tables placed throughout. Lined with many trees and with the surrounding mountains, it didn’t matter the sky was sprayed with thick clouds.
Considering I didn’t get to stay for the sunsent, as the park closed at 5 PM, I enjoyed the hour spent walking around. Silence, or near solitude is always welcomed, and it seems to be very healthy for my mind as of late. I know when Ash returns it won’t be quite so silent, but the time away from home and exploring new places is what I’m looking forward to.
