In situations like these, I like to think of myself as a cultural anthropologist. I don’t think my sister is benefitting that much from my help (they all look the same!), but wow I’m learning so much about topics I’ll otherwise never experience (today, the wedding industrial complex and involved tailoring).

yesterday, I sat in a movie theater, watching a 5/5 film, but somewhere between the frames, I slipped away in my own world. my eyes wandered around the room, scanning the foam-lined walls, the dust resting on cushioned seats, the soft glow of the screen flickering against strangers' faces. for a moment, I was no longer in the film— I was in my own world, watching, unnoticed, in a room full of people, feeling as though i am in a film myself.
it happens in the classroom too— pens scratching, pages turning, heads bent in deep concentration. and yet, I lift my gaze, watching the quiet rhythm of work, as if the scene before me is unfolding on a screen, as if I am only passing through.
maybe it’s a habit of slipping between worlds. one foot in reality, the other in observation. caught between being present and stepping back, seeing life not just as it is, but as a scene, a story, a moment unfolding. perhaps that’s the beauty of it — to exist both within and outside, to live and to notice, to be part of something yet still see it from afar.

I just started working in a new building with big windows that face other windows, and I can’t help but feel like I’m looking in a mirror all the time. we’re all just living life- making a snack in the kitchen, snuggling our pets, typing away at our computers….
