We, human beings, are strange creatures.

Sometimes we feel embraced by people when there is no one around. In other moments, though we have people all around us, we feel lonely as if we were isolated in a dark room.

Why is it so?

It is not always easy to deal with the gap that separates us from the rest of the world; call it as you will: psycho-physical space, self-preservation or restraint - it does not matter. The point is that there are some moments in which this gap is shorter, easier to jump; others, it's like an abyss.

I'm afraid of falling into that abyss. I don't have the strenght to jump.

I'm I was never much of a fighter myself.You can call me chicken, I don't mind. Actually, I couldn't care less. I've learned not to care - or else pretend so.
