you ask me not to leave your side; you don't know who to trust...

0uroborus and i watched Martian Child last night. it reminded me of me. there are many(most?) of us around who are not quite of this world in some ways. now, i was neither adopted nor abused as a child, but my parents raised me to be who i am and i most certainly have created my own version of reality in order to fit myself into the world...and so have you in your own way. and if you laugh at the notion, then perhaps you are the alien here. we all bullshit ourselves so we can survive.

sometimes, even when we have created our own world, it's hard to give something recognizable. sometimes we create our own code and wait for someone else to understand it. sometimes people figure it out and we panic because the point was never to be found. sometimes we are surprised that anyone bothered to dig a little, as everything lies so much closer to surface than one would imagine...
