Nocturnal thoughts, Pen of the escapist

Someone else

Posted by sakshi~the escapist on

 

“Today I don’t want to be me. Today I want to live a life that is not mine, to see world from someone else’s eyes. I want to understand if it’s okay to be happy in someone else’s happiness or to shed tears in someone else’s grief. Today I want to go talk to strangers and make new friends. I want to get drunk and go to parties. Today I want to do things that I don’t do, to see what being not me feels like. Today I want to be someone who doesn’t care about syntax and plot in the day to day life. Today I want to know what someone else will think about that girl in the café, sitting on the chair with her elbows on the table, open book in one hand and steaming coffee mug in the other. That girl who I know so well. Today I want to be someone else. Today I don’t want to be me.”
