New York

In April 2026 on the last day of my April visit, there was a guy I saw walking around in New York. I encountered him on the sidewalk from 53rd library to the port authority bus terminal. Behind him there were lots of white people and their children. He was white too like the guy I saw at waterfront Toronto earlier. They wore almost same clothes except he seemed older. I got a distinct feeling that they probably knew each other. I pranced around libraries later meeting again many white guys. They walked in front of me and behind me. It was really strange. Afterwards I saw a lot of posts which made me think about him/them. I got a feeling they knew about me. And they were loving me trying to make me happy in this small Canadian city, Markham from far away or nearby. The posts were all about how people behave and dress in New York. I got a feeling that these were not ordinary styles. I did become happy afterwards. Are they trying to comfort me about jobs? Are they trying to tell me jobs are fake? When is this fake thing gonna stop? Will I get a real job? Etc.
