"People see the world in the way they are 'supposed too' darkness, greed, slut shaming, homophobic, they see life the same horrible way. Not the way your supposed to. But do to everyone seeing life in the messed up way it's 'supposed to' look makes everyone just as messed up. They think because everyone is acting and seeing life the way they do then they have to as well. Because if they don't they simply will not be like everyone else. They will feel like a sore thumb and that scares them more than the world turning cold. Reasons why people still see the world they choose to. They are living under fear. Fear that they will be looked at like they have two heads or have a pet alligator. When in reality no one will even notice. They are too busy worrying about themselves and if they're makeup is just right or if they're pants make them look fat. Life isn't the messed up picture that people see in their minds. Yeah I don't see life in a 'perfect picture,' but I sure do see life in a better diagram than everyone else. I see the happiness swimming through people's eyes as they talk about the one thing that gets them out of their own wall they've built around themselves, the one thing that flashes through their mind every second of the day, the one thing that can make them smile as wide as a kid in a candy store. I see freeness as birds fly through the ocean blue sky, not dark things flying across a burden of lies. I see the liveliness in the forest as others may see hurt and disgust. I see something filled with words unable to describe when I look at the wide bright sun. I see love when a couple walks into a bakery, hands intertwined as their face is slashed with crimson. But most importantly I feel something unable to imply with words when I see someone finally realizing their worth. As rare as it is nowadays it makes my heart including everything in me swell with joy when I see the picture in front of my eyes. People aren't seeing life the way they should."

"So in one word how would you describe you see life?" He asks unbelieved by my sudden burst of words, but I don't miss the interest lacing his voice.

"The complete opposite way that you do" I reply simply, before walking out of the office.
