LONELY IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO BE


I can’t remember the last time I walked somewhere at a human pace. I realized that today walking to a lecture. I got caught behind a few people and I couldn’t believe how unbelievably slow they were all walking. As a feeling of pure annoyance was growing inside me, I looked down at their feet and noticed that their strides were reasonable. My feet used to make those strides. Back in Toronto, I walked with friends and laughed and just enjoyed being me.


How do all these first years already have so many friends and a real life here? What’s wrong with everyone? They’re living in a new city with new friends and a completely new life! Do they not realize that they just made a huge transition?! Do they not realize how quickly we’re all growing old? Everyone around me seems so well adjusted to their universities.


Then I guess the better question is what’s wrong with me?
It's ironic that a crowd depicts my feelings of loneliness so well.
