Cruelty, Manipulation, Meaninglessness
If the weather is nice enough, sometimes I’ll walk aimlessly around the city for my entire lunch hour, and even occasionally snap pictures with my toy phone (and sometimes a real camera!!!)
Today I saw a really pretty electric yellow tree on 32nd street, so I stopped to take a photo, when I saw one of my coworkers walking past. She sort of gave me a look, as if I was the stupidest person in the world, for being outside, in the world, on my lunch break, during fall in New York City, and taking a picture of a tree that will soon be dead.
I felt embarrassed. I felt caught, as if I was trying to have a real life or something.
