Do you ever feel like this? I was just driving along the motorway, all those cars with people in all around me, everyone had somewhere to be and shit. Perhaps it was the beautiful music that made me suddenly aware of life, perhaps it was that i am in a great mood today-either way its weird when you have one of them wake up call moments.

Its like when you drive over a town or village when its dark, all the house lights are on and i always think, wow- homes full of families and to them, their shit is more important then mine, infact i don't even count or exist. Its the same as in the supermarket, so many people just going about thier day, you don't even notice them, rushing past you, planning tea's and wondering what to make for the roast this week.

I feel today like life is short, like i am just a small fish, a dot in a very busy world. Anyone know what the hell i am on about?

:)
 
Lol I know exactly what you are on about, I feel like this on a regular basis!! I remember my first realisation that the world doesnt revolve around me lol :rolleyes:

I was 14 I think going to visit my pen pal (yeah she was from Smash Hits :$ ) in Darlington and I was on a coach driving in some city up north and I noticed this girl walking down the street rushing around and I watched her for as long as I could, then couldnt stop thinking about her afterwards wondering where she was going and what she was doing :) and I thought she doesnt even know I exist :cry: :rolleyes:

I sometimes feel like we're in a big petri dish and another species is watching us to see what we're doing, like we watch ants carrying food lol! :rolleyes: :$

We are insignificant to most people which is kinda scary, but we're important eenough to be thought about to all that know us :D

i certainly do amelie and its a nice and a scary feeling , sometimes you just happen to be aware of the people around you more when it happens its things like i will look at some one for example sum geezer on the train reading his paper and try and work out what sort of life he has and think things like i prob will never see this person again , im prob not making much sense , lol, but honest im not a rambling drunk ( just yet ) ;)
 
Sometimes I am truly humbled by the world around me but most of the time I swagger round like the world is my litter tray & I am the tom cat with the biggest set of swinging balls in town :D

It's not that we are insignificant or that we don't make a difference - we are all connected imo :D

I do feel truly truly humbled by nature & the world tho... like during mahoosive thunderstorms or watching the sea at it's most savage crashing against rocks & cliffs in Cornwall or when you climb a fookin ace peak & the sky is crystal blue & the sun is lighting up the view all around... I love our planet :love: It's just a shame we fuck it up so badly :(

PS I could people watch for DAYS - get proper into it & make up my own stories about what peoples lives are like & what they are doing :$

I do this all the time. If i could be invisible for a day this is the kind of person i would follow. I spend far to long on a daily basis listening in to normal convo's. There is a really filthy caff on Preston bus station that me and my freind used to go on a sunday, we would sit there, still numb from the weekend, that kind of exhausted sad feeling that its a whole 5 days till you next go out, and we would just share a hot vimto and liten to everyone. They would chat so much shit- how much to put on the gas/leccy, who they saw in the pub the night before, chains smoking rollups. Tragic as it sounds i still try to go at least once a year and just sit there- it makes me feel humble somehow.

Slightly off topic, but there is a girl in my home town who i would love to get to know. I spied her for the first time rushing around too. She has a really wonky walk and a great face full of expression- she always seems in a mad hurry (probs a scag hag knowing my luck) and looks sort of engrossed in something in her head. I see her every few months or so, i always want to say something becuase for some bizarre reason i like her. Jonno laughs if he is with me and we spot her, he says mean shit like 'hey there is that girl you want as a mate'. I can't describe it, she is not like me i don't think, yet she just makes me feel, i dunno happy and curious for some reason.

Jeez girl, I know what you mean on both those counts! ;)

Me and pauly have gone after a mad night out to Baguley Tesco and just sat in the car park and people watched! Its the best place for people watching as its full of the weirdest people ever :rofl: we had a competition to see who could make the best stories up about them ( I won :p ) there was this one old woman I got so right it was scary!!! :|

Ive often seen people that I like the look of and think Id like them for a mate! In my younger bit fucked up college days I used to go upto people I liked the look of and started talking to them so we could be mates lol :$ now I just ask people I like the look of where they get there clothes from lol cos thats generally why Im attracted to them in the first place!!! :D

No, you window licking spanner lol. ;) .

Wait till you get wondering how busy this world may be compared to another outside our solar system, and if they have cheese and branston sandwiches available there, and if the water type substance is green.....and what would happen if the space time continuum suddly collapsed and we found oursleves flung into another orbit. Then you start to loose your marbles :axe:

Yeah, I know what you mean, think about it too long and you start needing to take little tablets......

Yep... quite often infact Amelie....

When Im in crowded places I always look around at the folk that are around and quite often tend to wonder why! And I wonder if they are feeling ok themselves.... If I see a person who looks sad I want to give them a great big hug ask them if I can help, tell them that it will be ok etc... But in this day and age its a sad age and you cant do that incase they have any sort of tendancies... So you just have to wonder...

I find for me myself that I only really feel lost and a like a little fish when Im feeling sorry for myself when things aint going to good for me....

As it always seems to be that when your feeling grand and happy people want to be around you and your surrounded by lots of other little fish so your in your own gold fish bowl happy as larry...

But when your feeling shit people cannot cope with it and ditch out on you and leave you on your own in that bowl to get on with what ever you have too type thing...

This is when I feel it the most.... But then get cross at myself for feeling that way as really when I look around wtf reason do I have that's justified to be feeling that sorry for myself...

So as above I'll start to look around and notice the madness :thumbsup:

Depends on the context of the situation as to how big of a fish I feel, lol, that sounds funny. Who i'm with/mood/surrounding circumstances etc all affect it. When I achieve something great, or I just happen to be having a great day and nothing can touch that, I feel like a shark in a duck pond, and probably act like one.

But on days like today, when i'm stuck in bored out of my mind revising for exams, smoking like a chimney on the balcony watching the rest of Sheffield supping their first bevvy of saturday night, I feel more like a fucking anchovy anchored under a bit of seaweed at the bottom of the Pacific. lol. :gigolo: Ready to be caught, canned and served on a slice of warburtons for meredith's breakfast.

It is weird looking at people sometimes, wondering what their whole life has beein like up to this point, what brought them to this spot, what they're worried about, what they've achieved, what relationships they have had and how they turned out, where they're going and whats going to happen to them next etc, and realising that everybody else goes through the same things as us, just from their own perspective, and we to them are as insignificant as they are to us.

But I agree with Shooms, I think we are all connected anyway, just different entities of the same life force.

Thats a bit heavy for a sat night. Erm... Robots and pears. Blam. :ba:

its just the way your feelin 2 day babe.:( lash that cd out da window & tell your self i may not b the biggest fish in the pond but i am well da best lookin;) peace girl
 
I like to feel insignificant...and small in this big existance.:D But I know, evenryone is just as important as everyone else.



Also, I stand at the super market and stare so hard at someone, and think "who are you" And try to imagine what their lives are like, what their home is like...what they like. It's weird, as I'll probably never see them again...You pass so many people, and they're all desposable.


I also wander how many people are doing a certain thing...like, when I used to go up to Werneth Low when I was little (a high point)...I used to think "How many people are...dying/being born/having sex/wandering this question"


Also another one...you can walk past someone in the street, catch each others gaze, and there's an instant connection, like it was meant to be. And then both of you walk off, wandering wether you should turn back...could they be..."oh no, he'd think I was mad/has a girlfriend" and vise versa.
And you never see them again! I have made a pact with myself...to stop them and talk to them at least, who are they, what the hell was that. After all, it probably only happens a couple of times in your life!!!

Thats what i meant Lozzie. I did not mean it in the sense that i was having a feeling sorry for myself moment, i was actually in a great mood. I just realised that life is frigging wierd, and despite how well you are doing, not doing, whatever- it really only matters to you as we are all small fish.
