Train zombies

The feeling of being alone in the universe is even bigger in the train. I travel long distances and spend daily one hour and a half in the train where everyone is plugged to an eyephone, a book/newspaper, or just simply listening music. No one makes eye contact and certainly do not talk with those strangers they see everyday. They are train zombies and I live daily with them. I observe them and most of the time they don't notice it. I feel so lonely without anyone to talk or just hang out with, I can't sleep in motion -I so much envy the ones that can- and listening music just gets to my nerves after 30 minutes. Reading is awesome but I need peace for it.

I started to draw people but after old man gave me some evil looks, I stopped. By the way the old man still looks at me everytime our path cross, he hated to be drawn.

There is Mr. Tielen as well, he seems nice and so far is the only person who smiles back. I imagine him living in a white house with a wife,three kids and a dog(don't ask why). Sometimes I think, he smiles back because he thinks I'm a sort of mentally challenged person but I hold on to think that's he is still human

Lately, I have pushed myself to use my time in the train to improve some skill or learn something new. I started with origami, I can make the crane, a box and a star open box. The lily flower is so hard but I have time to make it eventually. I still do not know what challenge, I'll set myself for next week but let's hope I find something soon because a crying adult woman singing "all by myself" in the train is not cute.
