Nikki Reed Instagram – A rite of passage, we finally missed one train on day 12 of the trip. It was almost as if we needed to experience one moment of “getting lost” on this trip, just to say we had. It was the first time something unplanned happened on this very organized adventure, and there was something kind of special about it. We jumped off, ran to our next train that would get us back in the direction we needed to go, and I sat there watching as a sweet family played games next to us. I kept looking over at how happy the children were to have their mama fully present with them, and thinking to myself how nice it must feel to get to connect in that way after a long day of work or school. Two stops later and a man jumped on. He walked over and sat with the family. It took me all of two seconds to realize this was their Papa, whose work stop must be on their route home from school everyday. The four of them played together on the train, something they seemed to have done a hundred times together already, and as I sat there listening to the kids giggle, I wondered if maybe this little moment I was lucky enough to witness was more than a gentle reminder to re-prioritize, look up, and see time through a different lens. | Posted on 14/Jul/2024 23:03:56
