There was an exhibition nearby for an oversized pair of jeans that had supposedly been walked around the globe. There was an activity where people were asked to guess how many “turns” one had to make for a such a trip. They were also selling merch but it could no longer be sold under a pay-you-want scheme because of some kind of legal regulation regarding donations and having to pay wages to volunteers.

I pulled up an essay from 2015 on my laptop and couldn’t believe that it had already been 10 years since I wrote it. My mom was looking over my shoulder when I tried to alt tab away but the screen froze. My computer decided to restart itself. My dad asked if there was anything that I wanted to do, or if there was anything that I felt I wasn’t able to do here.
