It’s one of those days when you’re missing something and nothing in particular in the same minute. You’re missing the spirit, the joyness, spring and childhood, tune not heared from a long time, some laughts.
I didn’t realise what I needed until I was there.
I took of at Westminster instead of regular changing at Green Park. At that moment when my feet touched the pavement, on that busy street I knew I had to be there. It was like seeing my old mate. Going throught the crowd - people taking pictures on every step of the bridge.
I felt lost so had to go to the place, where tourist are lost in their imagination of London, in the number of pictures they’ve took already. Even if plenty people around the world have something pretty simmilar one, just with a different light, taken in another season of life.
Is there any chance that a city could be your friend?And is there any chance that one of the main symbols of the city could be your mate? Is that normal that I suddenly I felt relaxed when I touch Big Ben with my eyes again?
I’m going around in my square or rather irregular rectangular of the spaces which I ‘visit’ on daily basis. Brockley and New Cross. Pimlico and Croydon, and the shopping Circus with one of the most beautiful streets - Regent St. Old buildings hidden for a sky lookers behind all those shopping extreme.
Coffee didn’t taste so good for a while. Which is yesterday morning probably…
The thing is that my bag might be a slightly lighter, since I don’t have my wallet in it. As I lost it, Again. Although there’s something much more heavier inside my bag, and inside all of my pockets. All the coats and all the jackets are full of duties, dreams and expectations.
Going around in my daily triangle of craziness, I’m keep on forgetting how beautiful that City is.
I’ve opened the front doors today and there was London outside.
I shouldn’t be suprised then by the fact, by my need of ending up at this famous steps and Westminster station, and even more well-known traffic lights, where you can have the closest look at London’s heart.
All the Londoners are living inside the postcard…
Melancholic trap of my own thoughts. I’m walking around with a heavy box of plans, master plans and expectations from my own persona - the most heavy bit.
In the weather like this with a dash of spring in the air, when I can get drunk with that refreshing spirit of nostalgia. All the childhood memories are coming back to me in once. I’m not able to handle the whole package. They’re packed in the big suitcase, situated in the bottom of the wardrobe named ‘past’.
Still though, spring memory hiccup won’t give me a break..
At this very moment I’m missing some rest and a proper amount of sleep. On the other hand I know that not giving myself a single breath it’s the best way to prevent myself from destroing with overthinking what I could do. When I’m busy I’m a doer.
Coffee injections are keeping me alive. My furry hairband is looking up for some warm days. My copy of afternoon paper felt pretty cold on the bridge. My trainers are ready for some more escalators and stairs.
For a moment I couldn’t catch a breath today. Like a coffee without a cup, like a cigarette without someone’s lips. Then, I saw the city and I felt so much better. It does sounds naive and like a clumsy thought of a weird soul. I’ve took a pill of pure spirit of city and had to spit my thoughts out. There was no room for them in my heart.
Camel, button missing coat it’s my mate for all the journeys. I’m making my stream conciousness and cutting sharply the egde of my ideas.
Nevertheless new joys are waiting for me around the corner of tiredness. Nobody need sleep when you can grab some extra emotions, pictures and sounds
Living you there with it
Back and back again..Back and back again..
