"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Me, Being Strange.

Oh, all the things I've seen and not seen. Sometimes I wonder what lies invisible to me, just out of reach, felt but not touched...

You know?

I can be in a room with just a few people and feel like there's a crowd behind me. I feel it. I can sense the emotions, like I've said a million times before. It's not clear, or precise, or sometimes even accurate. Inaccuracy is sort of rare in this gift of mine, but it does happen every now and then, when someone is especially good at faking.

But I feel the presence of people. People that aren't nearby...at all. I don't think it's weird, though, because it's probably just my own emotions going haywire. I don't know, maybe?

Strangeness. I live in such an odd world. And I really, truly, passionately love it.
