I looked back one final time to see that the station was no longer in sight. All that I could see were tracks, wiring, and the natural landscapes that surrounded the train. The mechanical sounds coming from the train itself was somewhat soothing, helping lessen that feeling of annoyance that I had previously. Looking around the train, the blue seats looked clean and new. The car I was in overall was clean. It always surprised me how clean they keep them. I glanced over to the wall on the other side of me to see the map showing the different train routes as well small wall shelves that held a variety of pamphlets for tourists.
The sight however was not as nice as the one outside the window. Seeing the trees both small and large, the humble clear sky, blue as the sea. Just seeing everything that I see right now makes me forget for a moment the stresses that have been troubling me. Everything out there reminded me how good things can be and that I can enjoy the little things in life because you can never know when you'll ever be able to enjoy them again. It's sad to see people not really care too much anymore about the world around them. They forget to take a moment or two and enjoy what was there before them, before everything we've done. Instead they get lost in a moment that leads to nothing more than added stress to the already stressful game of life.
Thinking about this though is making me a little more stressed. I shouldn't focus too much on others in that way. Everyone is their own person and what they do is their choice. I can't help but worry if something were to change everything within a single moment. What will we do? Would we do anything? Would we survive? I don't know why I am thinking like this. For some reason I have a really bad feeling, one that I did not have before I got on this train. I didn't know what to do about this feeling except to look out the window once more. Whatever is going on, I don't feel good about it. Something out there somewhere, whatever it may be causing this feeling that I have bothers me. Looking out there at the world, the vast expanse of beauty; something deep down is telling me that something is wrong.
I looked up at the clear sky then back at the ground and everything else I could see as the train rolls on by. I began to notice some of the familiar sights which let me know that the next stop was going to be coming up soon. I fixed my attention away from the window, just looking forward waiting for the final moments before reaching our destination. What a day it has been. Hopefully things will look up once we get past this stop. Hopefully… Just have to wait and see once we get there.
