that feeling you get when you see others living in the moment you’re there in this moment, but not the focus of it on the sidelines, you’re like a ghost you aren’t part of the moment, but you contribute to its existence like a side character, you don’t interfere watch as the main characters make the moment clear you don’t dare to step past the invisible boundaries, fearing you’ll ruin the moment like a camera, you catch the moment, but you aren’t part of it it’s like a coming of age movie, except you’re the extra with one line people say you’re the main character, but you know that isn’t true the main character doesn’t watch from a bench the main character doesn’t swipe through stories of friends the main character doesn’t stand under a roof as people play in the rain you’re the side character, and you know it you’re the side character, just living through the moment

The Side Character
