"You get ideas from daydreaming, you get ideas from being bored. The only differences between writers and other people is that we realize when we're doing it.

Things aren't always what they seem.
I look normal.
Happy.
Social.
Most of the time I want to just quit.
Somehow run away,
Without looking back.
To just be,
Somewhere, somehow, someway.
With something different.
Something new.
Something I've never encountered before.
Throw myself into this world and just be.
Just live.
Just be something different than this life that I've been living.
Something that I don't know what I'm doing next week.
Something that I can be surprised by.
Be someone that I actually like.
