The Best Stranger
Strangers... Exactly who are they? Random people we don't know that comes and goes around us. To them, we are strangers as well. We walk into so many people day in and day out, but what we didn't walk into, are their lives. Most of the people we see, we see by the surface; look, smile, walk away. Ok, maybe a little bit of speaking... but that's all. We only go into details with the people we are close to and in these days, the psychologists, counsellors and therapists?
The trends has changed. The fashion is today. People? They change, they live in today's world. Nowadays, many people's best friend are bought. The mental health practitioners, the drugs, the bars, the tv, the internet... It goes on. That doesn't make everyone's though, 'cause there are still people who befriend other people and have bffs - that's best friends forever(s) that are genuinely not generated from cash. Those are becoming extinct.
There can be trends, fashion, hypes and all of that momentary 'excitement' but there are some that would go into the 'evergreen' lane. The 'evergreen' that's in my mind right now, its not that 'green' after all. One of the many 'hit' quotes are the ones that say 'you know yourself best', I think that's a fashion that has been falling out a lot in this trendy world. It has always been there but I cannot verify if its popularity is getting bigger or otherwise.
What I know is that people seem to think that they know what they are doing but most of the time they are all tail chasing. Hoping to grab what they see and running for it in circles... in the end its not even what they wanted because to begin with, they are wearing a suit that's not made for them. Today I am one of them. I chase my own tail hoping to get a view of what is inside and I keep losing out. There are so many other me(s) outside of this physique that knows me better than the me. Looking inside and trying to find me is a lot of work and complication. I got blocked by some cold butter from breakfast, knocked down by some adrenaline from running after the bus and in the end of the day when my system calls for a shut, me sits at the corner where me started and still wonder.
The best stranger? Me.
