inside out


"just because we're surrounded by four walls and a roof doesn't mean anything. it's still dangerous. the chances of something happening are just as great. anything could happen. any move is possible. i've seen it. you go outside. the world's quiet. white. everything resounding. not a sound of a motor. not a light. you see into the house. you see the candles. you watch the people. you can see what it's like inside. the candles draw you. you get a cold feeling being outside. separated. you have an idea that being inside it's cosier. friendlier. warmth. people. conversation. everyone using a language. then you go inside. it's a shock. it's not like how you expected. you lose what you had outside. you forget that there even is an outside. the inside is all you know. you hunt for a way of being with everyone. a way of finding how to behave. you find out what's expected of you. you act yourself out."
