and what i've just said --- all of it --- all BS! =P
i'm sitting in the backseat. period.
i believe this is what they call slowing down. some parts of my life have been compartmentalized -- not by choice (rather, a consequence of a choice). come to think of it, i can push against the boundaries, but i choose not to -- i don't feel the need to.
interestingly enough, i feel ok. i see myself as a heavy boulder running along a straight path purely by inertia and letting whatever external forces - be it strong winds or a hump on the road - to steer me to a new direction or slow me down.
as long as i feel this way, as long as i feel the need to lie down on the grass fields and create stories and images out of the clouds of the vast sky -- i will do so, to my heart's content. =D
