Yet another new beginning

I guess I'm going to set a new record for "to be continued" stories with no follow up. Let's consider everything that was hinted, but never saw the light of day lost forever (that is, until I get to it at some later point; you won't miss it, for I will surely brag about getting to a topic I mentioned a year or two earlier).

Meanwhile, I got back to the city where my university is so I could... well, officially - so I could finish my thesis. In fact - so I could get back to living on my own. After three years of student's life, I simply don't get along with my parents that well. It might be nothing but my vanity, but I'd say that today I have much broader horizons than a few years ago and I can't stand certain levels of ignorance. I'd love to discuss some things with my parents, but as long as they are providing for me, we don't have an equal standing to have a talk based solely on arguments, with no "because I say so" on their part.

Each time I come to this city it is covered with dense mist, so it's impossible to see where the tallest buildings end. They seem to be upholding the grey sky. Everything seems so surreal, it would make me doubt whether it's really happening if I was prone to such thoughts. But then again, if it's the story that counts, so be it: maybe this city doesn't exist anywhere but in my imagination, and it takes me just that long to visualize all the details? Maybe I'm so tired after each of these imaginary travels, that all I can do is remember just a few places that are separated with the grey emptiness? Only now do the sounds come, too, until now there was almost complete silence. I can hardly see anything outside: the road and a silhouette of a tree on its other side. No buildings, no people. Kind of creepy, if you think about it. Other than that - I don't necessarily like big cities, so if this one were to stay almost empty for some time, it would be an improbable, but welcome occurrence.

Naturally, it's quite far from any kind of seriousness. Well, why the hell not. Hopefully (could it be another "to be continued" moment?) I will get back to more consistent posts (as if something like that happened before and I could simply "get back" to it...), whatever topic they might be on, in the nearest future (I like this term; it is as imprecise as it gets).

Away with these brackets!
