cheers

There’s a line in the theme song from the show Cheers that says “Sometimes you want go where everybody knows your name." 

Sometimes, it’s nice to go where nobody knows your name.

I stepped on to the street and into a sea of people. Each face had a different story to tell. I wondered if any of them were curious about my story. I walked the streets where no one knew my name and the most they wanted from me were directions or spare change.

I stepped on to the trail and into the woods. It was growing dark and began to rain. This trip was intentional. No one would be here in this type of weather. I’ve walked in worse. It is a small price to pay to be able to hear nothing but the sound of your own footsteps.
