Abandoned Town From The 1700s

Let's go shopping, I said. Let's sit around and feel anxious, my anxiety replied. 


 This morning, I finally reconnected to social media after taking yesterday off for #DigitalDetoxDay. I didn't feel refreshed, but I did feel ready for an adventure. So before my social anxiety could stop me, I was out the door. After a few set backs (why was this "open" public park locked up at 9:00?), I came across the Dorchester Historical Site:




Cemetery on the other side




After wandering around the cemetery, buildings, woods, and the old fort at the edge of the old town, I wandered down some side streets and found a secret spot by a river. There were all kinds of spiderwebs I had to sneak around like I was Katherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment. And on the other side I found a washed up bicycle: 



I returned home for a shower and some food. My plan had been to go to the mall, but I tactfully talked myself out of it and then read through my 99 unread texts dating back to 2019. I wonder if I'll ever be able to fully overcome my anxieties for good? Either way, I give myself credit at least for my morning adventure today! That's an improvement.
