You can just post "vibeo ganes" or "having a #coffee" or a picture with some impact text on it, it's fine
#coffee
This is secretly an effortpost.
When I moved here, it was decided we'd take a train roughly 3000 miles across the US, because it was a lot more economical than flying for the sheer weight and volume of luggage I needed to take with me. While this was a miserable experience for many reasons, I did get to see a lot of truly beautiful US countryside, and even got a handful of good shots on my shitty phone camera.
All of this is cool, but that's not the point of the post. The point of this post is that nothing, no picture, no artists rendition, no verbal description, could possibly express what it's like to be awake all night in a vehicle with UV blocking windows as it rolls through the deserts of the American southwest.
I took much clearer, less blurry pictures, but this maybe comes the closest to expressing the experience. The shielding in the windows to prevent sunburn means that no starlight comes through. None whatsoever. Not a glimpse. They might as well be painted black, but for the fact that there are no imperfections, nothing obscuring the reflections of the train lighting, perfect, complete darkness that you know extends as far as the eye can see. Just you, in an empty train cabin, hurtling through nothing, endless nothing, for what feels like an eternity. I do not have the words to express how unnerving and unreal it was. Once every hour or two, we'd pass a solitary neon sign suspended in pitch blackness, before the darkest darkness I've ever known returned again for the next god knows how long. It is easily one of the most haunting things I've ever experienced, and a camera simply could not capture it, no matter how hard I tried.
I am having coffee though. It's alright.
