transit

the anonymity
the sense of wonder
the random meaningless interactions
the random meaningful connections
prolonged eye contact
admiration of fashion
observing one’s judgements
nostalgia
the endless daydreaming
being immersed in the soundtrack
the comforting rhythm of the familiar sounds
sharing moments with strangers
altered sense of time and reality
a moment of transition
the crushing sense of loneliness
trying to read other’s emotions
making up stories about stranger’s lives
overhearing the most interesting
and the most sad conversations
observing insecurities
a truly random sampling of humans
watching demographics change with each passing moment
feeling afraid
feeling gratitude
feeling inspired
observing emotional reactions to others actions
the familiar faces - realizing the shared routines
observing others judgements - wondering about them
loving the serenity
watching the sunsets
being damp and cold to the bone every 2 minutes
the overpowering stench
the people eating dead carcasses
with no consideration for the disgust of others
the coldness - thousands of people passing by with no connections formed
lost in the vague chaos of the city
focused on their corner of the universe
