Do you ever feel like you're some place where you are the "fly on the wall"? Sitting there slowly fading into the wallpaper? I know that I do. At school dances, in the backs of classrooms, sometimes in the hallways at school or even in my living room at home. Why do we even stick around then at these times?
Maybe it's back to that thought of wanting to be loved and included in our lives that makes us stay somewhere even though we're out of the loop of what's happening in the current situation. I like to sit and observe things and keep to my thoughts in a quiet place, but at other times like to have my opinion come through.
We're all like little flames that burn bright into the night...all very different and are burning at different brightnesses. Other people want to be noticed and recognized more often than some others might want to. But we're all scared of the wind that will take our voices away and make the world quiet.
