A spread-out city – often I feel so small in this vast space. It takes a long car ride to get to the place I thought is close by. Within the hidden sockets of the city are hipster cafes, bookstores, restaurants… But stretched across the landscape of the city are highways and barren roads.

Crossing the city at night to get to our restaurant, me and my friend watched as the night lights illuminate our paths, then disappear. I wonder if people often find it lonely in this city.

Looking out at the city from the 15th floor of GSU, I found a nice quiet moment to be content. Away from my real life and Atlanta’s reality, it was a nice getaway.
