It's amazing how present a person becomes when you begin to speak to them
The realities of not being alone and being present to someone can be quite different
Something so natural yet powerful happens when we acknowledge a person
Speaking to the one we would rather avoid
There is somewhat of a snapping back into reality that occurs
One crawls out of the inner place of dialog and suspicion of the unknown into the here and now
it is as if all the thoughts and perceptions conceived in that inner place become shallow and hollow at best
I was literally struck by the sense that I am not alone as I spoke with my roommate whom I had been avoiding and ignoring
A common sense that ought to never escape me especially since my roommate is visible
In that moment I became fully aware of his presence and mine
The reality of sharing a space became real again, it was no longer this divided room but our room
How insane it is to live alone when you have a roommate
