a life in beige boxes
packed and placed
meticulously in the trunk
of a navy-blue car
her finger on the map
unfolded—sepia, crinkled
she imagines a town unassuming
the climbing mecca bishop?
owens valley swathed in cobalt rock
and twisting roots
the buttermilk range bathed in gold
glistening as though coated in oil
the inyo mountains dancing
imprinted in the cerulean sky
alternatively, north: marin?
azure, electric in her imagination
bay area oceanfront
sea foam crashing
indigo upon the shore
the coastal county shrouded in floury fog
residents clinging to space
and solitude
the shock of salt spray
and everything blue

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
