I go for a walk to explore the nearby forest. I am lucky to be living so near nature, in a small swedish city.
I hear a bird tweeting as I enter the forest. For once its not a seagull, so it is nice. Why are there even seagulls this far from sea?
I go further in and am surrounded by a lush environment of tall pine trees, moss-covered boulders and low-growing blueberry bushes. It feels like there's a missing middle there, but what do I know.
Wherever I go, I can see a house or a break in the treeline, showing where natures domain ends and civilization begins. I can always hear traffic from the not-so-distant road. I have to wear headphones to escape the sound of motorcycles and cars. At least I'm not missing out on much, there are no more birds for the next hour.
I reach the powerline zone. A scar across the land. All I see is dead trees. The other side of the divide is something different. It is marked as 'brush' on the map. I walk through it for a while, though the traffic is louder here. A destroyed forest, all the trees are young, trying to regrow. I fear it never will.
On my way back I get a view of the city. The Machine That Eats Forests. Later while writing this I hear a second bird. but the traffic never ceases, it is 11 pm and it's going loud as ever.
I will find my way home now. Home, where the traffic noise is replaced by seagulls.

# distracting
`2024-05-25`
i work in an open office. that means there are 30 people in the same room trying to work. and between 1 and 5 conversations happening at once. i cannot work if i hear people talking, this is a constant problem. loud music helps some but makes me more tired too.
today i brought a bearing, i like to fidget with something while i think.
as soon as i spun the bearing, the two people having a conversation next to me that i was trying to ignore just stared at me then said "sorry but that's really distracting". how is that more distracting than people talking everywhere all the time? how can i be the only one struggling with this here?
i refuse to believe that *anyone* likes open offices. they just suck. bosses just choose it because it is cheaper and the status quo.
