| Small lines with subtle hints that are picked up as they were meant to be by whom they were meant to be
Such a different world I live in now
Sigues? I will continue paying you the respect that you should have been due by title.
you don't care a bit you don't care a bit ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Pit my consideration for lower priorities against my desire to hold on to a messed up friendship from a failed relationship
No, I will not can not forget the world I lived in with you
You should know that the situation was not as black and white as the gray that you paint
You are in a different world now of my storms and my emotional instability. I am in a different world now of smile faces and soft peace. In time, will you stop revolving around yourself?

| If you will set me free to fly
I will fall to the ground
I will bite the hand that feeds me
being characteristically a dissatisfied person,
I choose to go on because there is hope for the future
When you are with me, I will turn around and run
so that you will chase me.
If you catch me, I will squirm in anger
When you are gone, I will cry
because I am weak and cannot bear the loneliness.
I will apologize and come running back to you
and for the moment I will continue existing.

| Is it bad for people to fall in love with characters? Whether it's a character from a book, a tv series, or a movie... is it bad for us to fall in love with them? There were some people I knew who fell in love with the characters from Friends, and thought of those characters almost as if they were their own, real friends. When you watch a show faithfully through all its seasons, you get hours and hours of exposure to that character's life, experiences, personality, behavior, etc. The character development becomes your knowledge of the person... You see their joys and their sadnesses, their triumphs and failures...
Watching romance movies to find personal fulfillment because you feel that the power of the love between the main characters can somehow fill the void in your own heart...
Are we not all stalkers? Is this not a telecommunicated stalking that has been deemed legitimate by society? It is not true stalking because the people we are stalking are not people... they are characters. The actors are actors... liars... they are not really those characters. I'm sure we might wish that they were those characters, but they are definitely not.
However, we are still acting as stalkers all the same. We are still doing what they do... watching, and gaining personal fulfillment somehow from watching.
What does it say about people when they are addicted to a series? Series are perhaps more unhealthy in this manner because they continue on and lead us on more than movies, which we know and whose fact we cannot avoid that it is only just a few hours long and has a definitive, determined ending.
I think it speaks about our loneliness. Film and television (and to a lesser extent, books, because we probably rely a lot on visuals and seeing the people whom we're falling in love with) is like candy which feeds our hunger for intimacy. But hunger continues, whereas candy handouts do not. Sure you can keep on watching TV all your life, sifting through friendships with different TV shows, but take a step back...
It's the living and breathing friends that count and who can actually satisfy the hunger. It's just too bad we don't have dramatic, appropriate music to follow us along with whatever interactions we are having throughout the day.
