Reality Check
I had a blissful morning.It was a sunshine kind of morning despite the pouring rain. I missed the 0710 train. It used to be a bad thing to miss trains, but its gradually starting to grow in me. I'm gradually liking the feeling of missing the early trains.
I grabbed a sit next to to the foggy window. There was nothing I could see but fast shadows of everything that was in between the window and I. I love looking outside windows, but somehow not being able to see through it today feels invigorating. Its exactly like the kind of feeling like when you're trying to get out of bed but you can't because the blankets are tangled to your feet. It's like you're secretly hoping for something else in contrary to reality.
I fed my ears with my morning tunes along the journey. It's what I always do when I try to alienate myself from the outer world, or from the crowd at least. I continued to look out the fogged window that didn't clear up even after a few stations.
A few more stations left.
Only a few more minutes until the end of this getaway.
There's something special about looking out at fogged windows. I was hoping that it doesn't clear up but slowly drips of water started falling from the roof of the train. It drew a line across the fogged area. My attention shifted to the line. I could see better now. I didn't need to guess where we were, but it felt disturbing.
It felt as if I was invaded off my privacy. Like somebody was trying to peep in and walk into my outerworld. But I wasn't going to allow it so I shut my eyes tight.
I fell asleep.
Few stations later, I woke up. The window was now all cleared up.
I stepped out of the train, and into reality all over again.
