-So I was the only one who found humour in the situation it seemed, as us passengers were let off the landed plane in yyz and asked to follow the lady with 'Quarantine Supervisor' printed on the back of her sweater. She was wearing blue gloves with a clipboard in hand, so it seemed pretty serious. She asked if any of us needed immediate medical attention and I couldn't help but chuckle to hold in the urge to ask, 'what if we do but we just don't know it'.
-And I noticed how the one was always looking at me everytime I would turn around, no matter where I was no matter what time it was and no matter how obvious we were. And it was alright because it seemed as if both of us were pretty completely finished talking to people and he had that face and body that just don't let you look away.
-Now the other one was just a bit too dramatic for my taste so we both refused to let conversation go much further. The other ones reminded me of people I already knew and so it was a given that we'd stay away from each other at all times.
-My favourite feeling ever is the intensity that swallows me when I'm on a plane, departing to destination not-quite-paradise, and even better is the climatic moment of the planes wheels touching ground in yyz, home, home, the home that is not sweet, the home that I struggle to find peace in, but it's home and I can only deal with problems in one city. It's good to be back, to the cold welcoming me back with slices and bites on my skin and attempts at stripping my bones.

-17 is not me. No matter how many times I'll say it within the next year, I won't believe it. Seventeen implies blinded and very confident peace of mind and I have absolutely no sense of self and the anxiety begins ttthere.
-Inside I don't feel like being surrounded with people. Somehow when they manage to still come around, I experience an out of body experience, as in my body is doing the talking, the joking, the laughing, the drinking and the rest of the fooling, while whatever it is that makes me human vacates the premises and only reinhibits when no one is around, like right now, and with every return, emotions are amplified to the point of unsensibility and I can't quite figure out this feeling.
