I took myself out.
I saw people. Walking and existing.
I saw books. Resting and existing.
I bought some. Read a few pages.
I took a photo of the flowers. Very far away.
I took photos. Don’t you miss taking photos? Snapshots in your timeline.
Mum called.
Friend texted.
A stranger asked me to share my day.
Kind eyes behind the desk said hello. I smiled.

Can I find kindness in this world? Can I always recognise it?

I love you.
And I hope everything will be okay.
