flounder found

found a list on the ground. found a scrap of paper. found a bit of someone's life, similar to mine. but really, how much sameness does it take to be similar? i'm a person, bret's a person; you're a person. that person over there is a person. and when you're feeling lonesome, hopefully you can remember that. we could be roaming an earth, or another planet, that houses 6 billion persons who aren't persons at all; we could be swimming in differences and difficulties. it would be extraordinarily hard to progress through even a day if there were no medium of connection, no 'humanity', upon which to anchor ourselves.

even so, it seems like the general tendency is to distance oneself from the crowd of unknowns. and we're not talking separate or sub-species here, we are talking about an individual meeting another individual. we've got more barriers than we know what to do with; they are overwhelming and end up gripping up even though they are the means for a grip upon our worlds. is it such a bad thing to be a fluctuating entity? to alter with every moment?

m. feel incredibly lame for not updating these writings in the past few weeks. where are one's priorities? should have (hoping for) a slow weekend this time around though....it looks promising.
