Observation
Life is a long preparation
For something that never happens
One day he'll realize
Hopefully not too late
He wasn't just a bystander
Watching the world unfold
Life was already happening
And he had always been written into its pages
Response 1
"If we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere." — Seamus Heaney
Response 2
It's fitting that your observation straddles two regions, just as your theme straddles two worlds.
Be careful not to drift too far while deciding who you want to be - you might find yourself on an unintended ramble.
Response 3
Is the Masquerade a panopticon?
Are observers saying what they mean, or just what they hope someone else wants to hear?
What would people write if no one was watching?
Or is the real fear that they’ll stop?
Revision
Living isn’t watching - it’s stepping forward.
History is set by those who carve their path, not by those who stand apart.
