airport games

sometimes watching the people go by, you just want to make up their stories. you don't know if it's better or worse than where they really are, but you feel pretty good about getting invested - even if you never see them again.

sometimes i wonder about the stories people might make up about me. because everywhere we go there are probably as many stories times as many stories in the room, that is - each and every person's story, and then, all the stories everyone might make up about each other.

it's dizzying, really. and interesting. and best of all it puts you in the past of learning from observation. you know, you'd be surprised - if you really pay attention - what you can come to know about people if you just look quietly and deeply enough.

[i wrote this a while ago, but just got reminded of how fun it is to play stories while waiting at the airport; so many different people, all going somewhere, you wonder where, why, are they running towards something or away, visiting, moving, working... ahh]
