    Somehow, someone always says it better.

 

“Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin, another’s voice, another’s soul.”

-Joyce Carol Oates

The Part About Me

I’m not sure what to say. There’s nothing interesting about me.

How do I describe me? I’m a thinker, a dreamer, a scholar, a scientist, a human (and hating it, thanks for asking).

I like to be anonymous. I’ve always loved mysteries. Besides, maybe it means more when I could be anyone. You don’t know. You’ll never know.

Maybe I’m you, you’re hidden dreams, your shadowed thoughts. Maybe that’s too much hubris. All good heroes fall when the size of their hubris rivals that of the gods. I guess that makes me a hero. Or maybe I’m a villain. I like that too. Someone will come along and destroy me. Either way I’m part of the story.

The world is falling apart, which isn’t quite accurate as it was never whole to begin with. I don’t know what I hope to accomplish. All I know is that I need somewhere to escape to. Maybe you do, too.

Escape.

Sometimes,

our world is a little too much.

Explore.

Sometimes,

our thoughts are a little too much.

Dream.

Sometimes,

we just need to live.
