Evom no?

Yeah...i'm detached.
Uprooted.
Unplugged.
Disengaged.

I'm just kind of waiting to replant myself, with no idea when or exactly how i'll be going about it.
When i don't feel close to anyone in particular, it becomes easier for me to feel at once closer to everyone in general and nobody at all.

Around others, i'm usually somewhere between a certain outgoing desperation and inner limbo; i feel like the white noise punctuating an empty channel in lieu of a signal to hold onto, to decode and amplify and become sweet music or informative, indispensible news or divine, world-lightening laughter.

I always used to be able to just switch myself onto a stream like that, feeling connected and enlivened by the sheer awareness of being acknowledged and acknowledging back.

I've been lying awake a lot.

Being left to the fuzz i hear now when I'm alone, i realize that I've had a lot of time for building strong, steady connections. I am led to regret those that i took for granted, those that were squelched when i selfishly thought i was searching for the sounds i wanted to hear.

People must only be an end in themselves...

Now the nights don't go by the way they used to.
