just sitting on a bench, holding a book you haven't read in the last twenty minutes and watching all the people walk by. thinking all sorts of things. where are they headed to? what are their dreams? you will never know these people but isn't it incredible that you are both alive in this very moment, in this very park, in this world?
just two pebbles brushing past each other in an ever-flowing stream.

yesterday, I sat in a movie theater, watching a 5/5 film, but somewhere between the frames, I slipped away in my own world. my eyes wandered around the room, scanning the foam-lined walls, the dust resting on cushioned seats, the soft glow of the screen flickering against strangers' faces. for a moment, I was no longer in the film— I was in my own world, watching, unnoticed, in a room full of people, feeling as though i am in a film myself.
it happens in the classroom too— pens scratching, pages turning, heads bent in deep concentration. and yet, I lift my gaze, watching the quiet rhythm of work, as if the scene before me is unfolding on a screen, as if I am only passing through.
maybe it’s a habit of slipping between worlds. one foot in reality, the other in observation. caught between being present and stepping back, seeing life not just as it is, but as a scene, a story, a moment unfolding. perhaps that’s the beauty of it — to exist both within and outside, to live and to notice, to be part of something yet still see it from afar.

maybe living feels so dull at times that overhearing what’s going on in a stranger’s life becomes insanely intriguing. there’s something deeply introspective about getting a glimpse into someone else’s world, like realising how different their life might be, yet just as vivid, messy, and complex as your own. perhaps in the middle of that random curiosity you might even catch a flicker of something familiar… a shared feeling, a similar struggle, resembling mannerisms...
humans, am i right? ðŸŒ

guessing where they’re going, the details in their outfits that catch the corner of your eye, the off handed comments at the end of conversations overheard in passing that stick with you the rest of the day…

one of the best concept albums of all time. follows a young woman named Ethel Cain (the character, not the artist) as she encounters various men and eventually meets her violent death at the hands of one of the men. truly visceral and even disturbing at some parts but so so good, really recommend giving it a listen
