Why I stare . . .

[water_childe]

I've always enjoyed riding on subways, trains, and busses for one reason. It gives the excuse to stare at complete strangers. Have you ever really looked at someone's face? Babies faces look so soft. Amorphous. I swear if you pay attention long enough they change almost with each passing second. Their eyes have this liquid shifting quality. Hungry

there were some beautiful old ladies at the retirement home. interestingly, they were all either artists or optimists. the sour, beige ladies all looked withered and puckered.

I shudder to think of what it would take for me to completely loose all hope. I've had some pretty shitty things happen to me over the years. I've been down, but never completely out. Somehow I remain an obtimistic soul. I want to believe to the pith of my marrow that things can almost always be worse and can always get better. So much of everything is all relative.
