So I just got back from a really spontaneous trip to Historic Ellicott in Old Ellicott City, Maryland. It's such a cute, old town, or street rather, with a lot of shops and antiques. I just got up and left, by myself, it's like an hour and a half away. I haven't been there since I went with my family like a while ago, and I was so upset about a break up I had gone through that I didn't truly enjoy it and realize how beautiful it was. I know that is so terrible, but you live and you learn. This time...I lovedddd it, even alone. I don't usually just go away to places by myself, so when I got there and started walking down the street and everyone was with their families and friends, I felt so weird. But then I was like, whatever, I'm the same person in a nice place, with or without company, and I'm going to do my thing and enjoy it. So I went in every single store and bought some really neat things. I even made some friends with this older family that owned an antique shop that I think I spent like an hour in. They ended up giving me all these books for like five dollars and told me to come hang out with them more often. You know, it's enlightening to be able to make friends while simply wandering, and it's meaningful even if you know you are never going to see them again. I also sat and drank my coffee on a bench for a while since it was so nice outside, and a homeless guy joined me for a while, telling me about how he would find food to feed the birds. Well, none-the-less, it was nice to have some company :) Well that's the extent to my really random story and experience. Also, my phone died while I was shopping so I basically lost my only form of navigation and didn't have a phone charger in my car...so it was interesting trying to find my way home. Luckily while wandering I found a radioshack and just bought a car charger. haha. I guess many would say I lost it (it referring to my sanity), but I'd like to say I found it.
:D Time to study.
