the fact is

Humans are fearful creatures...no, no ellipsis. Period.

When exactly was it that people stopped caring? When people got so fucking afraid? I want to know. And I want to know how to stop deluding myself into thinking that I can change it.

But the fact is, there needs to be change. This isn't meant to be one big episode of Sex & the City. It was never meant to be real, people were never meant to be like this. Or maybe I just wasn't meant to think like that, maybe I'm just different. Maybe the only change that needs to take place "should" be within myself.

Fitting squares into circles was never my forte, but why can't the two just coexist without friction?

Go spend an hour in the sunshine, ride a bicycle down a hill on a windy night, hold hands, watch people together and their interactions and their closeness/distance from each other. Go play with a laughing child, go have a real meaningful conversation with someone you just met and will probably never see again. Go drive your car going 90mph on the freeway with your music loud and your hand sticking out your window, doing the wavey thing where it feels like it's in water. Go smile at a stranger and mean it.

Go do these things, and then tell me how you can still be afraid.
