What I'd like... Is for there to be a peaceful outdoors... Where people can simply let you do your thing... Reading or thinking or whatever... Without bounding up to you and MAKING you say 'hello'.
For people to go 'oh, that person is reading or thinking or whatever' and for them to let you do that. To just let you do that. Instead of the person getting all panicked that you are alone and freaking out and bounding up to assure themselves that nobody is alone for .2 of a second. All is alright with the world.
But there isn't that. If you want to be let alone you need to be surrounded by other people - who will let you be alone in their presence. Or you need to lock yourself away so that other people can't see that you are alone. If you want to read there is only one place for that: The library. But, still, if you are focused on something that is not a person then some other person simply will freak out about that and not let you be.
I wonder what happened to 'William's Syndrome'. I wonder if it has been 'normalised' over here... I really honestly genuinely think... That it has been. We do have swipe access... But things need to be done on the quiet. Hidden away... I think it is about... Control of populations. Yeah.
My experience is changing me... I'm not sure it is making me a better person. But I certainly have been learning.
