I was walking through San Francisco down Valencia street and I was tired and wanted to sit and my feet hurt and my bag was heavy (whiiiinnneeeee) and I happened upon a tree swing. I sat and swung for 20 minutes before meeting up with someone and needing to leave it. Strangers started playful conversation with me and while I swung I felt relaxed and excited all at once. Everyone I made eye contact with smiled back at me. This city has been reminding me over and over that I need to go back to going about things differently. I need to open myself up again. I need to make the space for myself to be creative again (it’s a practice, it won’t just come to me). I want to be more playful, always. File under: reason #1,407 why I love the bay.
