Sunset

I linger in my own thoughts. Not so sure if I’m stressed, depressed or just whining. What I’m sure about is that life has got a better part of me. Life has grasped me tight by the neck and I’m slowly chocking, losing air… hard pressed but not yet crushed.

My body ain’t giving me peace as well. Been have serious neuropathic pains for the past three days. I can’t sleep: I’m up all night talking by myself, making wishes, prayers, thinking of the many what if’s. It’s been three days since I slept okay. I’m a walking zombie… at times I wonder where I get the strength for my day to day activities. But I keep on telling myself, even the longest night eventually turns to day. 

Couldn’t sit at home and so decided to take a drive. Didn’t even know where I was heading. Just got to the road that seemed to have less traffic and drove on. There is beauty in nature. Something that calms the mind…

I’m here in a semi arid area full of dust, rocks and shrubs. Vast land I can’t see the horizon. To my right, the sun sets. It’s dim, covered in heavy clouds and a cold breeze keeps on blowing. This is beautiful.

To my surprise I find several cars parked besides me. I guess it’s a place to unwind while watching the sun set.

The music playing in my car is by Jacob Banks called Silver Lining. Bad day has turned out good… 

How soothing and comforting.

I feel like I can drop the seat back and finally get some shut eye. This is peaceful…

In the name of chasing sunsets 😁
