Common People

Yesterday was different.

I'm trying very hard, I think, to amass a set of experiences that three years ago I would have scoffed at as needless distractions. I think I've decided that somehow having a series of close encounters with normalcy will make me a better person, and I don't know why.

Ever feel like the song Common People was written about you?

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.
