(Sorry, couldn't find a photo of a girl staring blankly on a train but this post is partly inspired by Lost in Translation:)Sometimes you wonder, when you've been taking the same train/tram/bus all the time, day by day, but you never reach the end, what's on the other side?
Sometimes you see, people staring out of the window on the train/tram/bus, with that spaced out look in their eyes, you wonder what they are thinking?
Sometimes you wish, you are in a different city, one which you are totally unfamiliar with and you can just sit and stare out of the window til it reaches the very last stop..There's something rather calming and enticing with that at the same time....
And then you realize, it's not the city that matters, it's not the fact that you're in a foreign place, it's the idea of the unfamiliarity which attracts you to ignore the little wonders that you have right at home. As Sarah Jessica Parker said in Sex and the City, she's in love, she has a new lover and it's NYC!
I'm not indicating that I've fallen in love with Melbourne but just that, I've always had a mentality of wanting to be anywhere but here (not Melbourne specifically) so I'm trying to justify all the reasons of wanting to be here and not anywhere else...
On a different note, but probably relating to staring blankly out of the window on a train/tram/ bus, do you wonder when people leave, 1 after another, be it to a different place, different world, and you sort of get left behind, how do you bring back the laughter, the memories, the time gone by? You can't...You can only wish them well, remember and hope that things will still be the same where you left off the next time you see each other.....
