Great news .. Starbucks has opened back up their dining areas or Id thinks most people just classify them as work areas. I was going to Starbucks to sit and get whatever I need to be done on my laptop religiously since October so it’s really something small that I’ve been missing. One coffee shop did remain open in the Spokane area named “Arctos Coffee” the coffee was decent but the atmosphere was perfect aside from the fact it would get so busy. When I had nowhere to sit and write or whatever id go to the “My fresh basket” it’s a grocery store pretty much identical to a Whole Foods with a lounge area upstairs and good enough wifi. Before I know I’m going to stay in any city for a certain amount of time its a MUST to scout out coffee shops/grocery stores. I’m drinking a tall cup of Pikes Place coffee no cream no sugar, of course, we don’t need to raise our blood sugar levels this early in the morning the coffee tastes burnt. I used to be so sure of everything I wanted I had a whole 5-year plan mapping things out etc. until something happens and it comes crashing down you scratch all that like the saying goes everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. I had to reset everything I knew and what I thought I knew about things even about myself. I didn’t know myself even remotely up until this year and Id have to say the majority of us don’t know ourselves ultimately. Our lives are made up of many things but mostly reflections and memories everything we act upon is because of something that has happened similar to us and we can reflect then we have memories a part of our consciousness that stays with us until we die or get some crippling disease. We hold onto memories harder than anything else. After all, our whole lives are based on memories we struggle so hard to live in the present moment because we remember stuff that lives in our streams of consciousness we can’t escape them and we use those memories to reflect and create new memories for ourselves. Surprisingly I’m looking forward to going back to work Friday it means that ill have 7 days where I practically shut off my brain and pretend like I’m a robot. I flow with the routine motions for 7-8 days then turn it back on and suddenly I’m back to reality. Time has gone by and I’m not shocked I have been on the fucking go go go for the past year and I have really not stopped I haven’t planned one fucking thing everything has been on a whim every job I’ve worked, every place I’ve been, and every house I’ve stayed BUT not the food I always plan the food the fuck I look like. Another thought and this is my opinion but if Seattle stayed sunny year-round I think id likely end up living there surrounded by lush green forestry and the fact that the buildings aren’t too fucking tall but just tall enough to remind you that you’re in a bustling city. Unfortunately, Seattle doesn’t stay sunny year-round it has a reputation for being rainy and gloomy its nothing personal Seattle it’s just bro ill come for the summer but I cant take part in your gloomy depressive state during the winter. Also, I can’t remember the last time I posted a blog with the cover picture being a Starbucks.
