“As
we are whiling away days of idleness, time may flow rashly through the screen
of our thoughts and veil the relevance of individual fragments in our story.
The clock of reality can arrest us, though, and compel us to confront the
demands of the truth. ("Non mais, t'as vu l'heure !")”

the beating of my heart.
The
way I lie awake, playing with shadows slowly climbing up my wall. The gentle
moonlight slipping through my window and the sound of a lonely car somewhere

was over, that I’d found whatever I thought I had found, or wanted, or needed,
and I started to collect my belongings. Build a home. Safe behind the comfort
of these four walls and a closed door.
Because
as much as I tried or pretended or imagined myself as a part of all the people
out there,
I
was still the one locking the door every night.
Turning
off the phone and blowing out the candles so no one knew I was home.
’cause
I was never really well around the expectations of my personality
and
I wanted to keep to myself.
and
because I haven’t been very impressed lately.

people,
or
places.
Or
the way someone said he loved me and then slowly changed his mind.”

“I
was free with every road as my home. No limitations and no commitments. But
then summer passed and winter came and I fell short for safety. I fell for its
spell, slowly humming me to sleep, because I was tired and small, too weak to
take or handle those opinions and views, attacking me from every angle. Against
my art, against my self, against my very way of living. I collected my
thoughts, my few possessions and built isolated walls around my values and
character. I protected my own definition of beauty and success like a treasure
at the bottom of the sea, for no one saw what I saw, or felt the same as I did,
and so I wanted to keep to myself.
You
hide to protect yourself.”
