I overheard this conversation on the Silver Line this morning and it really put my life back into perspective for me. I never actually saw the people who were talking. They were right behind me and I didn't have the guts to turn around and look. But their voices were soft and mellow with a sadness that simply can't be described with words. This was the first part of the convo.
Man: I dunno... Sometimes, I wish this bag was just fulla cash.
Woman: Why?
Man: So we could just take this Silver Line all da way to the airport and just hop a flight and get outta here.
Woman: Why?
Man: Start ova ya know? 'S too damn depressing.
(pause)
Woman: Why you wanna do that?
Man: Just can't do it anymore. Just can't do it. (beat) No point in livin like this.
Talk about putting things in perspective, eh? Sometimes I just get so wrapped up in my own little world that I forget how amazing my life is. I absolutely don't wanna hop a flight and get outta here right now. I'm having the time of my life! This was also such a genuine, beautiful, human conversation... I'd consider doing it for acting for the camera.
Carpe diem!
