067: (Not)Working Girl

[livingmyths]

I'm at the Library today even though technically I don't have to be here. But I do love it so and if it's a day I'm not scheduled to work then I don't feel guilty when I spend most of the time pulling books down and reading through them or going up on the roof to watch over the City and feel the wind in my hair.

That's where I am now. It's cold, but oh so beautiful, and I'm warm enough to get by and I have some food in my backpack so I can have a little roof picnic and lay back and watch the sky and pretend I'm like a bird and could go soaring against the clouds.

Though maybe I'm more like a mouse, liking to hide away in tiny spaces and watch without being seen, nibbling away at whatever I can find and maybe one day having a little mouse family of my own.

I just wish...

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, if anyone wants to come have a roof picnic with me I'm easy enough to find and I'd like the company!

I know I don't want to make waves. It's better just not to be noticed a lot.

Or when people are telling you're different and bad.

[i-themagician.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

That's true. Again, though, it helps to remember that it's difficult for those people to see how similar you actually are to themselves.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I wish they could see that.

[i-themagician.livejournal.com]

True, but we're all only human. Perhaps they're too busy trying not to make waves.

I think... I think it's easier to point fingers at someone else and call them names and blame things on them than to look at your own issues.

[i-themagician.livejournal.com]

That, too. It's also easier to fear that which is not yourself.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes. Which is sad, but understandable, I guess.

It's harder to look at calmly when you're the one feared.
