Worlds

everybody has a secret world inside of them
all the people of the world, i mean everybody
no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside,
inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful,
stupid, amazing worlds.
not just one world. hundreds of them.
thousands, maybe.
-Niel Gaiman

we're so good at creating our own worlds
ones to share with the few that take the time to discover them
ones to tuck away in the dark parts of your mind, that explode in color and life when you close your eyes
ones full of bits and pieces of what your eyes have seen and warped and made beautiful
ones that, unlike the real world, give us reasons to live for

March

"Tonight I looked at the moon and I began to cry. Each person in the world has seen it the same way I have--whether to brighten the darkness or as a symbol of slumber. And in this, I wondered why superiority exists when this ever-present moon can serve the same purpose for each soul that sees it."

I dug this up today when I was cleaning off my desk. Remembering back to when I wrote it, I just felt pure bliss. I was in the middle of a really great time and I felt infinite. I had fresh eyes, more curious than ever. I guess happiness will do that to you. Well here I am, a little less than a year later, and all I can say is that I want brand new eyes again. I'm finding a way to have brand new eyes again.
