Penny For Thought

Have you ever became so lost in a book that you found yourself becoming more like one of the characters? You begin to talk, act, dress, eat, and think like they do; thus, once you have finished the book you are not sure how to act like yourself again. Until, you have found another enticing book.

Maybe, we the readers, stitch ourselves together with fragments of past-read characters.

Another door has opened and it's time to put aside the fear and take a leap of faith. This is no time for hesitation but a moment for conquer. We must laugh in the face of fear and grab hold of our dreams; "if we don't stand for something then we fall for anything"(Bartkoski/Hamilton). This is the time.

Bartkoski, Steve: "If we don't stand for something, you'll for anything!"

Hamilton, Alexander: 'Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.'

Wander: A self journey.

 I want to go sit on a elegantly designed train and dive into thought. I would listen to my music and just watch as the land and people change. I would think what their life is like or what mine would have been like if I lived there. I would stare at people around and analyze the way they style their hair, clothing preferences, nervous habits or expression. Maybe even watch a couple fall in love or one that falls apart. Maybe watch a man order his last glass or his first of many. Maybe watch a baby cry and think what else they would cry about in the future. Maybe that woman doesn't really want to smile, but to jump off the roof, and maybe that man is too scared to tell her of his undying love. See how someone left a jacket because they were in a rush for a business meeting or their wife went in labor. Maybe look at how that girl stares at her food and just picks the crumbs. See how that boy stares at the pony rather than the race cars. Maybe watch a man put his wedding band in his pocket as he opens the door for a young lady. Notice how a woman has bruises among her limbs and jumps at every unexpected noise. Maybe I would just watch the various faces and difference among the cultures. Or maybe ill just stare and study the pattern of the seat in front of me. Maybe I'll just stare and not think at all. I would just wait for the train to reach its destination. Maybe there is no one there but me. 
I'm alone.
