Dokkōdō: The path of aloneness, The Way to Go Forth Alone, or The way of walking alone.

✮*•̩̩͙✧•̩̩͙*˚✧*˚　　˚*✧˚*•̩̩͙✧•̩̩͙*˚✮

Just because it's October it doesn't mean it's going to stop me from going on walks.

I take that back, some days it's does.

Today isn't one of those days because it isn't that cold out so I can handle it.

It's Tuesday and it's the only day I don't work today after school, and I'm glad because I need to prepare myself for the horrors of old people and Karen's.

My mom's working late today, River is going to dinner with his mom, Finn is babysitting and Aspen is helping him which leaves me to myself.

It's not that I don't enjoy being alone, because I do. It's just, over time once you've been alone for so long, it gets boring.

And I'm getting bored.

I should probably try and make other friends but that wouldn't be the best option considering I don't know how to approach people or start a conversation, let alone keep one going.

Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to have someone approach me and do it so I don't have to.

But I don't have good luck so I doubt it.

I throw my coat on and put my Airpods in my pocket. I slip my phone into the pocket of my sweatpants and put my shoes on.

After I have the little things I need, I head downstairs and lock the door behind me.

Today is the perfect kind of day.

There isn't too much wind, but there is still enough to have a light breeze. It isn't too hot nor cold, the humitity is just right.

Overall, it's a nice day and it's been a good day so far so I'm feeling good about it now.

I put an airpod in my ear (preferably my right) and go to my music app.

I remember it used to be a controversial thing about which Airpod you preferred and I used to be the person that used the left one all the time, but as time has passed, I have converted towards the right one.

As I scroll through my playlist, I have to decide how I'm feeling today.

I'm feeling calm.

Cigarettes After Sex it is. I play I'm a firefighter because I really enjoy the lyrics and also because it's my favorite song of theirs right now.

I also just enjoy their music all of the time.

Yes, a lot of their songs sound the same but they are all different songs, with different meanings, with different lyrics.

Baby I'm a firefighter, trapped in a burning house in a silent picture, and there is no way out except to watch the love between us die

Those lyrics alone are just so... I don't even know how to describe it.

And those are the first lyrics of the song too, amazing.
