<aside> 💡 “When I romanticize the past, I feel like an adult who tries to return to his mother’s womb, not to take responsibility for his present, much less for his future. The first symptom is nostalgia because it feels good, and that pleasant sensation is a bit like going back to the womb.” - Alberto Garcia on The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

As I was walking around Union Square Park without seeing anything, I needed to depend on my ears. Having the expectation that the park is busy with people, and most times it's chaotic, I felt a little scared and uncertain. However, hearing the birds chirp and the icicles melting created a sense of morning calm for me. I felt the energy of the morning through overheard conversations and the possibility of spring through ice dripping onto the pavement.
