humanity.

on some days you happen to meet people who manage to make you feel slightly less alone, and of course there are others where you simply meet people with nothing behind their eyes. it isn't by the way they speak, or what personality or intelligence they possess; there are just some that you can feel so disconnected from even after spending an entire day together, and there are others that you'll happen to physically stumble into at the grocery store, and for only a moment -- exchange the same apology, and the same smile as yours, and then you know there are others like you. and then the world begins to feel a lot smaller, and a bit bigger all at once.

i find myself drawn to people, music, and movies with that way about them.

and as you turn the page in a book, or turn to a movie on your television, suddenly you're listening to a stranger say what you thought only you alone could only seem to understand.
