I do look good in red...
"Don't feathers grow more vivid in the Spring? Doesn't the leaves become red in the fall?
It might be that you've unknowingly changed to a different color along with the surrounding scenery."

Damn it, I want these shackles off already but I'm too naive that I actually have the key ...

"My brain is having a slow break up with itself..."
I feel that.
I'm not gonna lie.... I do feel this. From when I was kid, I'd always mimic the MCs in anime and cartoons. I personally loved the timeskips because for me, it was like I'm growing and learning along with them, showing off my newly acquired skills and feeling like others as well as myself could see those changes. But now... I'm moving faster than them... too fast but also too slow. There's now a disconnect in what I watch and its a quiet heartbreak that I've aged past them... Damn.
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
I remember this from a fortune cookie I received after dinner some odd years back.... Can you say foreshadowing?
