Slipping out of myself
and into others
was easier than
I thought.
I'm not so much
individual as
a collection of
individualities, and
somehow it's going
to feel harder
coming back.

I'm seeing a sort of theme in your recent posts :)
I wonder what that could be?
One thing that scares me about humans is the ease with which we pretend- how well we can be something we're not, how easily we imitate- you wonder if you will ever know who anyone really is if we can all hide so easily.

Indeed, it has become so easy to hide in this digital age
sometimes it's hard to tell if people are really who you think they are.
