Love And Money

"I don't know if we're alone

I don't think we want to be alone, do we? Do we want that? Is that what we want? And sometimes you think that the only reason we do anything at all, anything is to reach out and touch

Just touch, just to

feel

something

in our hand, I suppose and, or not in our hands in our hearts, or to reach with our souls and to find out that it's not all just dust and rocks and nuclear explosions in the hearts of stars with some accidentally organic matter moving around on one tiny minuscule planet. D'you know what I mean?

That connection

just to connect.

And you look around, don't you, and you think 'is this what it is? Everyone else seems to think it's this so that's what I'll do, I'll get a job and a house and the right shoes and I'll, you know, because this could be it' and I'm not saying it isn't and those things are great and I hate it when people are all critical and everything because we all wear

shoes

for christ's sake, so, you know, but

sometimes I'm left

wondering

and I wonder if others are as

confused

and are also left wondering and maybe there is this entire planet of people wondering and pretending that we know exactly what we're doing and that we fit in perfectly an that we're not scared or confused or

lonely

or anything like that."

-"Jess" from Love and Money by Dennis Kelly

Two themes that I have been thinking about quite a lot recently.
