The serenity of a voluntary insomnia at 3 a.m., getting out of bed and walking silently barefoot over algid floorboards; standing by an open window with the February winds blowing through your clothes, glittering city streetlights like a starry winter sky outside.
New York is my sanctuary, the complete opposite of the mental institution that is Los Angeles and my home. I can breathe here, the air seems lighter somehow, my footsteps less strained knowing I don't have to put on the mask of popular convention wherever I go.
They say you can never run away from yourself and maybe it's true. Maybe this is all just a dream, but in it I get to be whoever I want and I'm not yet ready to wake up. The taste of disinhibition is just way too sweet. Come with me if you like.

maybe it's the perfect place for you to be right now.
ReplyDeleteDreams, where you're most comfortable, actually are like dreams themselves. Once you get used to being yourself, that is in a dream, it gets hard to survive the actual reality.
ReplyDeleteLove you. Happy Valentine! :)
