when my life is stressful, i find myself wishing that i too, could wake up and snap out of my situation. usually though, this is just not possible. no matter how hard i try to escape from reality, it follows me around, tapping me on the shoulder saying, "oye vey, haven't you forgotten something?" i can no more run from my problems than i can separate myself from my shadow. normally. but occasionally, i suddenly discover that everything has changed dramatically.
