As I sit I the train, eating my chocolate freckles, I realise something. The people around me don't know me, and I don't know them.

I could be anyone in their eyes. I may be a wondering artist, or a lone soul.

I shouldn't care what people think of me, but I do. Their words impacted my day, shape it, mould it.

The words of strangers hurt the most. Even now, as I type, an old lady stares at me with distaste.

And it hurts.
