There are many things I love about California but the fact that it's insanely overpopulated is NOT one of them.
Going to the grocery store and trying to decide what brand to buy of any particular item is close to damn near impossible without someone breathing down your neck, waiting for you to move. EVERY FUCKING GROCERY TRIP. EVERY TIME.
And I know this may seem silly but I cannot ever park my car anywhere that isn't parked next to someone who is always there. It doesn't matter if I parked in a close to empty parking lot half a mile away from the store I'm going to, someone will pull up and park right next to me at the same time. It's fucking annoying.
I don't live in the city anymore but sometimes it still feels like I do.
I miss parking on Main Street (Hyannis, Ma) in the middle of winter after it had been snowing and not seeing another person. Not a single one. And that may be a dumb thing to miss, but it's not dumb to me at all.
I miss privacy. Solitude.
I guess I never realized how much of an introvert I truly was until, well, now. Don't get me wrong, it's nice being around so many kind people all the time. But sometimes it's just too much. Sometimes it's all too much.
Sometimes I just miss my roots.
