It's a really beautiful evening today; I can see the sun, but it's just a blur behind the clouds. There's a palm tree before it, and it looks happy just like it always does. It sits on a small patch of land in front of my window, and in a few hours there will be countless stars out. I remember tracing Venus and Jupiter, and I could see all the constellations.
All the places around the patch of trees are filed by house, and that is how it is for all the places. For about 5 kilometers, there is nothing but houses, industries, and depressing shit. My neighbour has a business right here with outdated trucks from the 1990s that fill my room with diesel smell when the driver starts it and keeps revving the engine, and then there is always the loudspeaker playing religious shit or shit songs, which you can understand because the speaker quality is so bad, and if you can decipher the song, it is always about fucking some girl. Remember the trees I mentioned? They're being cut down. The plot will probably be cleared in a few weeks, and a new house will be built there. Now I won't be able to see the sunrise or sunset. People here have a thing for lights or something. Everyone lights a bulb (the kind that isn't focused on the street but goes all around) outside their house and on their roof, and there are a million other things I can think of, such as dust. If you leave your window open in the middle of the day, your room will be filled with dust; all the sheets, tables, and laptops would be covered, and no one seems to mind this much; they are all busy with work and their phones and watching tiktok or something like that.
