The Reservoir Was Quiet. I Wasn’t

Manchester Reservoir, Massachusetts. I went because I thought water would clear my head. It didn’t. The trail was empty except for a couple walking their dog, laughing about something I couldn’t hear. I kept thinking about how I used to love places like this—quiet, green, just far enough from everything. Now it just felt like I was waiting for something to happen, or for someone to text me back. I took a photo of the water. Didn’t post it. It looked peaceful, but I wasn’t. Sometimes the loneliest places are the ones you choose on purpose. #Travel #TravelConfessions #NotSoSerene
