a metaphor within a true story

how to fall asleep on a train
(for insomniacs with social anxiety)

step 1: have realistic travel plans.
step 2: accept responsibility for your own ticket.
step 3: board willingly and be prepared for the journey.
step 4: properly stow all baggage so it will not prohibit you from stretching your legs but could still be useful as a footrest.
step 5: choose a seat that holds you in a comfortable position.
step 6: do not worry that you will miss your stop; the end of the line is just a switch in direction.
step 7: select music you enjoy even when the songs start to repeat themselves.
step 8: relax, close your eyes, and take a deep breath.
step 9: visualize falling...
step 10: if unsuccessful; repeat steps 1-9 until lucid dreaming occurs.

exposure

(act natural: to fake reality; see also: oxymoron)


it is easy to see behind the viewfinder, but harder to do when facing the camera...

and, like politics, the end result doesn't always look like either side's intentions.

the balance...

live fast. take risks. experience everything. fall hard...
(tomorrow could be your last day on earth)




live well. take vitamins. step carefully. start slowly...
(you could have great-children someday)

facades

what if...

I'm not really that girl, and you're not really that guy, but

we never took off the mask and cape to notice that it really was bruce wayne?

bricks and feathers

so I know a pound of either weighs the same...

but
which
will hurt less
if it hits you as it
is falling to the ground?
