Lost in the Digital World (and My Subway Stop)
We’ve all been there – glued to our phones, lost in the digital world, while real life whizzes by. That was me last Tuesday, scrolling through Instagram on the subway, oblivious to the world around me. Suddenly, I looked up, panicked, and realized I’d missed my stop. Not just missed it, but ridden three stops past it! Cue the internal screaming.
The bakery was like something out of a Wes Anderson film – pastel colors, quirky décor, and the most delicious aroma of freshly baked bread. I treated myself to a pain au chocolat (because, why not?) and struck up a conversation with the friendly baker, a woman named Maria who had the most infectious laugh I’d ever heard.
