I think too much. thoughts riddle my head and I am left defenseless in my stream of consciousness. It's reached the point of overthinking where I can almost guess with perfect accuracy what people are going to say to me. Some days, I don't feel human. I'm too emotional and too distant. Nobody has ever looked at my brain and perfectly understood it; and because of the apparent lack of people who get me, I find myself alien. I am a creature that people have only observed. People like me (somehow I have friends), however, feel that none of these people can fully understand me, I am an animal in a zoo, maybe reachable but barley human. How someone might be a robot, I am the opposite; I am a beast, completely unknowable. I just hope I find someone else who is from the same planet as I.
“I do not know why I was so tormented by your betrayals, rather I myself
know why, but I do not know the words I must choose to make you
understand why I was so tormented. Such words do not come in the small
size that fits your everyday needs.”

Vladimir Nabokov,
Invitation to a Beheading
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is
wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be
a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”

William Shakespeare,
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Judgment
self-evaluation, awakening, renewal, purpose, reflection, reckoning
