PRIVATE THOUGHTS : No matter how many places you move to, it's always the same.

I moved to America from Hungary in the hope of a better life, like the one you see on TV or in magazines. But even in this country, everything is monotonous. Once again, I found myself with people trapped in their daily lives and loneliness. The places I visit are sad and gray, and everything looks just the same . Of course, I've got used to this solitude, but I'd like this feeling of emptiness to disappear and my life to change. However, I'm a little afraid of losing my bearings. I often listen to the song "I put a spell on you" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins; it reassures and captivates me. I have practically no distractions. I smoke cigarettes all day long. The smoke curls around me and I move through this kind of haze, dreaming of what an enchanted life could be.
