For awhile during the school year I came up with this idea that we were all on our own individual planets and every so often we would join one another on one overlapping planet. Some people spend most of their time alone on their planet waiting for one specific person to join them. Others frequently communicate, and others still are a planet with rings of people floating around them that aren't really there. At the time this idea was reflective of my loneliness, but I still find it reflective of life, except now instead of being hurled somewhere deep in space, I am floating hsppily towards others.
