Log 4
Drove from Hye to Alpine today. Honestly most of it was a slog, the same highway in the same direction with the same flat scenery for four hours, but then the landscape changed to desert hitting Balmorhea and I felt relief.
I spent a lot of the drive daydreaming about alternate lives I could live. The one I liked the most is where I live in some remote-ish part of the country, in an eco friendly house that I designed, and with surrounding cabins to host friends/family/creatives who need some reflective time. An organic garden, dogs, communal dinners… maybe even some chickens. Hmm.
I’m finding that I get bummed/lonely in the evening when the adrenaline of exploring wears off. I think it’s a healthy feeling to get used. My sister doesn’t want me oversharing on the internet so I’ll put the rest in my journal 😘
Stayed in an 1860s cabin in Hye, TX.
Woke up to this view. Smelled amazing, cedar-y? I wanted to keep sleeping, or doing that thing where you’re in between sleep and rest, listening to the roosters and birds.
Road food. The HEB in Fredericksburg was overwhelming. Lots of old white people open mouth coughing and not a hottie in sight.
Balmorhea State Park – swimming with the fishies and ducks. Felt surreal…
There was a woman struggling in the bathroom with four young kids. I wasn’t sure whether to ask if she needed help or give her space. She looked around my age.
The drive from Balmorhea to Alpine. Fuck it’s beautiful here.
