emo thought of the night

"I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction" - Calvin, from "Calvin and Hobbes"

While there's definitely some truth in that, as there always is in Calvin and Hobbes, I think nighttime is perfect for letting all sorts of thoughts and emotions enter your head with less distraction, not just fears. I have a theory it's the darkness osmoting into your brain. Even though I'm fairly certain 'osmoting' isn't a word. But it is an undeniable fact the later the night gets the more emo-like I become. And no, I don't mean more like my mom's sister.....wait for it...anyway regardless if you got that joke or not, here is my emo thought of the night:

I feel like I've been living my life stranded at an airport. All sorts of people coming and going, some I care about, most I don't. In any case, the people are excited, ready to take off to destinations that I can only dream of going to. Because I can't go. I don't have a ticket. All I can do is watch and wave goodbye as they fly off into the sky, getting smaller and smaller until they eventually vanish. And the worst of it is when the realization hits you. They are not coming back.
