sweet words from a friend

jane,

this is so sad. being big on public trans, i know how you feel. the world moves so slowly when you're standing, waiting for the bus. it is lonely, but what I do is i throw on some big noise-cancelling headphones and i dance. just a little. at least head and shoulders, foot tapping, i play my lap as a keyboard. you'd be so surprised at how much more enjoyable music can be if you move even just a little bit. your surroundings become more vibrant, lights somehow pulsate to the music, people step and sway their arms to the beat, and at that moment you can't help but smile.

Then! someone asks, "what are you listening to?". then it's not so lonely anymore.

hope this helps!
