I went for a run yesterday, the sky was cloudy and overcast. I still wore my sunglasses. I tried to run without them but felt naked. I realized it was because I didn't want people to look me in the eyes and I didn't want to see them either. Just to exist and run around an urban lake in the middle of a city. Strangers passing each other by pretending we don't exist on this planet. Sad but sometimes necessary to survival. We are all afraid in some form or another. Mostly of ourselves.
