on a train to nyc by myself for a job interview. boarded at 5:30am. life is a high speed rail moving faster than this train. i sit in the dining car with all the other business men frowning at their microsoft teams chat. i smile because i’m just like them but not at all. coffee for $4.50. three cream three sugar. i share a table with another lady. we don’t speak but i feel the camaraderie of us all. jerking side to side with the shaky train.

Unless you're in a group of four, you will essentially be forced to dine with strangers if you're on a sleeper train. And it's been so *so* good for me(and my bad social skills) to connect with people different from me. If you want to get better at seeing the universal humanity you share with people, I'd highly recommend.

Delicious way to spend a super rainy Saturday. First train ride I haven’t done work on in a while and now I just wanna ride up and down the Northeast Corridor every weekend.

how special is it to have people in your life who you can exist with in silence.
