Numerous times I saw innocent strangers, looked at them, and felt this nostalgia. It’s true that at first such sentences appear nonsensible, but somehow they’re perfectly placed together; hear me out! Stereotypes come from somewhere.

In my mind, I walked around a park that doesn’t exist after riding around on my Dutch bike for 45 minutes. Medium-sized grass was sat on by a group of artsy college students who blew e-cigarette smoke. Green shit produced by geese was easily stepped on and that showed on the hard ground.

We need to stay strong regardless of what happens. Likely everyone on Earth has heard a similar phrase spoken in their native tongue. Such words are so overused that they begin to lose meaning. Maybe hearing a story with fantastical elements will help us rediscover something we tend to overlook.

Throughout our existence, we see fake places and made up faces. But is it all pointless to not live entirely in real life?

Mermaids. I continue to be fascinated by their aesthetic. Even in the modern times there are alleged mermaid sightings, mummies, and bones.
