It’s you but just slightly... off.
You’re walking past a building or catching the side of a bus when suddenly wait, was that you? The angle, the lighting, the movement it doesn’t match your internal image. You stop. Look again. It is you, but it felt like seeing a stranger. Not in a frightening way, but in a disorienting, oddly humbling one. You wonder how others see you. You start adjusting your posture. Replaying your walk. The world didn’t change but maybe you just did a little.
