Last summer I spent many evenings and nights wandering around outside--there was a desolate swing set I liked to frequent and sometimes I'd walk along the sea shore watching the moonlight dance across the waves. It was always a very soothing time; I also took long walks like this around my college campus when I was still in school--both places felt very safe even when I was alone in the woods around midnight. Unfortunately, I haven't found a place like that near where I live yet. Parks close at dusk and the street I live on has too much traffic for the isolation I tend to seek. Instead of walks I've been retreating into evening drives. It's nice after a day-long of things I should or need to do dictating my time to hop into my car and set off without a clear direction or some destination an hour away that just sounds interesting. It does mean I'm spending more on gas than I have in the past, but at the moment I can't really imagine anything else. At the end of a day sometimes you just need to go and be.




I know just what you mean.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that dress isn't vintage!

I couldn't agree more.. since moving away from the countryside and into NYC, I crave isolation and open space! I only wish that I'd brought my car so I could actually get out of the city every so often. =) I think if it makes you happy and makes your day feel complete than a little extra gas money is a small price to pay =)

That dress swishes so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, though. I've often felt the need just to drive to get away. You do discover great places though...
I love the way the dress looks when you twirl! I love the shoes, too. I ALWAYS love when you wear those shoes :)

ReplyDeleteSolitude to me has always been invaluable; the deserted railroad tracks seem never-ending, and with each journey, I make it further down the path. That said, my school is quite far from them, and I've yet to find a place without parties and noise and cars to walk near my apt.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely.
Love the back of that dress!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That dress has the prettiest silhouette and looks wonderful!

@KristiMcMurry, aw thanks. I'm really not a very soothing personality though--a bit high-strung and such; it's part of the reason I like quiet places, they soothe the chaos in my head.
ReplyDeleteI've been eying that dress on Modcloth for weeks! Can't decide which colour I like best... the blue looks adorable on you x Sushi
