Thoughts in a park

I love looking in through people’s windows at night. You can catch them at their most honest. No costumes put on for the world, just naked truth.

Walking around I often wonder if I’m doing something wrong. There are a million adventures happening eight now and I’m not part of any of them. I have a severe lack of excitement in my life right now. I have stuff to do, hell, too much at times. But I want to end up somewhere I didn’t expect. I want someone to drag me somewhere kicking and screaming the whole way. I think that may be my exact problem. Can’t someone else do it? I know I need to just run out into the night, cmpletely unaware of my destination, but u don’t know if I have the courage. I’ve always played things safe, planned out details to an absurd degree.

So many couples walk by inthe night. Do they know how they got here? Do they know where they are going?

A man rides by on his bike with a backpack, seems late to be coming home from work.

Always waiting for life to happen. Need to take control, need to do more.

  • cakes, i'm just curious, do you ever actually see naked people through the windows? i'm for reals, yo.
    I've felt this way, dude. This is horrible but I say, drink it off. You'll simultaneously escape and forge better friendships with your drinkin' buddies. Easy. Done.
    Much cheaper than traveling. As if.

    Pick a country (bonus points if you don't speak the language or if there's limited access to utilities) and go there solo (or just one other person, no more than that) for at least a couple weeks.

    I suppose if you really can't do it yourself I could try to drug you and ship you somewhere. Not sure how that would go over in a post 9/11 world though.....
