Perception vs. Perspective
Here's perception:
The world is a bitter place. Cold, lonely, uncaring. Unrelenting. Unnerving. Cruel.
And then, there's perspective:
Step out of yourself and acknowledge that very soon, maybe even tomorrow, this will all pass...
And a voice of reason:
And when it does, pass, that is? It will be beautiful and warm... But that will also be an illusion. Just a station on the way.
And the bitterness of wanting a day-long hug:
Might as well not even take the time to get out of the train. Just pull the dirty curtains, shut out the rain, the sunshine, the hopeful dusk and the harsh sunrise and sleep...
And a toast to the self:
Sleep is overrated. Who has time for sleep when there's so much self-destruction yet to be done??
