one place, many places

Sayoonara Part I


our apartment is so tiny and the city is so fascinating, i spend most of my hours outside the apartment. what really fascinated me about this coffeeshop (a chain called Veloce) was that, although we were brought together in a small space (getting out of a smaller space) within this camera frame, drinking the same couple drinks (matcha, tea, coffee, or orange juice), sharing the same burnt coffee smells and warm stuffy air, most of us were in completely different worlds. i saw this individual isolation in a lot of communal and private spaces. this is a weird phenomenon--wanting to be alone together. in separate stories, separate emotional capsules same quiet communal space. notice folks are reading on paper, and they're reading! i will miss this place very much.
