How is July nearly over? Time is so weird. I got a library card this month! The main branch is by Bryant Park where there are London planetrees surrounding the lawn. I was sitting nearby reading while there was a yoga session with a ton of people. The concluding “ohms” were so loud lol.
London planetrees are easy to identify by their bark – mottled gray, green, and brown, like peeling camouflage. They are also the most common trees in the city. I remember the main branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh was also by a park with London planetrees. Maybe it’s just a popular city tree because they grow tall and provide lots of shade.
City life is slowly growing on me (much like how trees grow haha). I found a good park close to the East River to read in, hung out with people more, and went to Rockaway Beach last weekend (I love the ferry so much). Also went on another date this month, but dating here continues to be disappointing.
Do you ever have conversations with people and feel kind of sick afterwards? Sometimes after I talk to people, I lie in bed and scroll through my phone or stare up at the ceiling waiting for the knot in my stomach to subside. Sigh…I wish we could all just get along, be kind, and speak respectfully to each other! I feel like I’m just ranting now so I’ll wrap it up. Heading out to see a musical soon 😀
