With it being summer, I've been thinking a lot about how I would've loved to be a ranger at a National Park. If not that, then a camp counsellor (one of the cool ones that acts aloof, of course)... Haha. I'm past the point where it's a possibility now (and don't live in America either which is where I always envisioned it) but any time I interact with a book, game, or film that's set at a summer camp or huge park with sweeping vistas of towering trees... Yeah, I dream again.
I think, maybe, I'd be content just to visit a National Park one day.

We went to a bookshop today (mostly just to browse) and another customer came up and recommended the book we were looking at! She said, completely unprovoked, 'it's really good - it has knifeplay'... hahaha. I had to give it a try, if only for the fact that a stranger recommended it in person so strongly. When I took it to the counter to pay, the cashier took a photo of it and said his daughter would be interested. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! I don't know... this interaction singlehandedly made me hopeful again. People reading, people talking. I love it.
ALSO, my partner won me a Kuromi plush from a claw machine on the way home and it only took £1. ♡
