Being a better human

 Sometimes you travel alone. Usually when you’re alone you eat dinner by yourself. If you’re lucky enough you get the window seat. Being alone is such a beautiful thing. Not only being in your thoughts but being able to do what you want. You are no longer accountable for anyone else’s happiness. Being alone entitles you to whatever the menu holds and however many beverages you want.  In this time alone you are able to people watch. If you are nosey like me, you listen in to what nonsense folks are boasting about. Whether it be about dogs, friends, and love. All of those things fall hand in hand though, well I like to think so. Anyhow a girl I met in the bathroom mentioned to me as she noticed I was flying solo dolo, “ How can you travel alone all by yourself? Id be too scared, too lonely, how do you do it?”  I thought to myself, why would you not do it? Naturally I answered coy and told her I was just on an adventure short and sweet and to the point. In reality though me traveling alone has opened opportunities. My mom always told me "remember you are proving them (him) wrong, you are showing him or anyone to prove you are progressing to be a better human than the one before you." Now Sandra saying that makes me wonder what that means for her. Someone who has showed me the world (I still do not know enough about her). In this time of travel I have been shown so many new things but in the new things there are the old things. In which case I mean, maybe we do not know our past all that well. I have been guilty to dwell but maybe we did not know the people that I used to know all that well. We like to think we knew our favorite bands like the back of our hands but did we know their true characters as a real person?
