At some point I became an observer. I am not sure when, where or how, but it happened. I am now an observer of life. It wasn't a choice I would have made, but it happened and now I am stuck with it.

It strikes me that everyone becomes an observer during their lifetimes. It is inevitable. The only thing you can do is distract yourself enough to not remember.

But herein lies the rub.

If you distract yourself too early in the growing process, you could be faced with noticing you are nothing more than an observer... watching the people go by.

The problem is that you forget how to talk to people that you want to talk to. You are a shmo. A sidekick, but without the hero. You are untouchable; a man burdened by no social connection.

It sucks being an observer.
