masochism

whenever i read the right book, catch the right movie, see the right show,
i am plagued by the reality of all the thoughts i'm not having, lives i'm not leading, the places i'm not.

god, i love the arts.

Sigh.

Never a more true sentiment I did read.

On an unrelated note- Let's go s'morein' sometime. I heart s'mores.

...And you :)

I can heartily relate to this. Not only what I'm missing in the line of experience, but also wondering if what I'm experiencing is false. Not in a Mary Baker Eddie type of way, more like I just don't get it.

Thanks for the compliment on the poem. It's much appreciated from someone whose writing I admire and (sometimes) envy. You're very eloquent Mr. Conway. :)
