today i waited for my coworker to get lunch and found later that she had decided not to go out. in the end i went to baby cafe by myself, sitting next to people on their lunch breaks happily talking to one another. I remember a time when i would escape to be alone during my lunch breaks because my coworkers were all so warm and intentional that there was no such thing as a brief lunch break. i’m grateful for my old coworkers.
and here i am, craving emotional connection for the excess of solitude.
