1. Can't look away
2. Don't know where to look.
I'm more of the number two. It's something to get used to and something that I'll have to wait until I have it myself so that I'll understand it better. Sometimes it's like looking through the looking glass- like I'm a viewer, not a participant, not a member, but not necessarily in a bad way. I go a hot numb. Meanwhile, I'm wondering all these things like : holy shit I'm going to be 100% responsible for myself...can I do it?
What the hell am I going to do without my car? Can I sit there every night and do what number two says?Do I want to? Is this okay? weird? sustainable? I can see it flare up in small moments and that worries me for a couple of reasons. I can see it goes away and then I see it come back. I know too much and have said even more. Little things rack up and big things don't seem to exist. I don't need a reason for everything, but I do need to fill the silence sometimes. I'm breaking out with all this stress. My forehead is like a throw-back to early high school years when acne moved into the pubescent suburbia. I just got home from tea, political talk, and getting up high. I feel tired and I feel worried about life. I feel odd for making this decision and yet I feel the excitement that slightly overrides it. I feel exposed, inexperienced, and nervous. I feel apprehensive, jealous, needy, and overly stimulated. Please let it be fine.
Adieu.
